after 33 years, first vette
When I married in 1986, I choose to buy a 69 Camaro SS rather than a 69 Corvette Convertible. I have always have wanted a Corvette but went with my wallet rather than my heart, as the Camaro was less expensive. Loved the car, but still wished for a Corvette. It will finally happen, either Wednesday or Friday of next week. Purchased a 2002 Torch Red Convertible with only 34,000 miles. Applied much of what I learned from this forum.
I cannot sleep at night. The moment I sat in the car and turned the key, I was hooked. Never too late.
