It's About Time
Well it's about time I joined Corvette Forum. I've had my Vette for 4 years. When I bought it, it had 21,000 miles (2004 Convertible Commemorative Edition). Now it has almost 55,000. I've loved every minute in it. There was 1 owner prior to me and he obviously kept it in the garage for occasional driving. I drive it every single day.
I love Corvette Forum because I go here to see if I can solve any troubles on my own to save money and I've been very happy with the information and suggestions I've found. Nice to meet you all!

Well thank you for calculating how many miles a year it has been! I absolutely love driving it, so much so that the few times I've had to take it in for work/repair it "drove me crazy" not being able to drive my Vette, but it's too expensive to rent! And I'm honored to be a Special Education Teacher. I deal with a lot of children that have behavior challenges and since I got my Vette 4 years ago, I've been able to show the kids my car and give them the "work hard and you can have whatever you want" motivational speech. It definitely gets their attention!
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
