New from Springfield Missouri
I’m a disabled Marine Corp veteran of 8 years - 1975 - 1983 Not really a car guy, been driving my 2003 Dodge Durango for 17 years, and it still looks like new at 150K My 2017 Grand Sport is my third Corvette, my first was a 1972, then a 1985. Since my wife passed and I lost my riding buddy, I figured it was time to sell some bikes and get another Corvette.
