My first Corvette

I feel like the luckiest Man Alive. I recently got a job helping someone move that was evicted. Long story short. My good deeds was honored by the gift of a 1985 Corvette with 37,770 original miles I just need a new steering column where someone trying to hotwire it. Idiot didn't know about the resistor to bypass security.
