Default C5 in McKinney TX

Sooo in 1978 Dad takes us to Johnny Londoff Chevorlet in StL MO to get a new car. Front and center was an Indy Edition Pace car ... what did we leave with ... yup you guessed it a 1978 Malibu Sedan. I was hooked. Few weeks ago wife asked "if we move some stuff around in the garage could we fit a Vette, the Harley, and her Lexus?" .... challenge accepted and won. Bought this 04 CV from a retired couple in San Antonio with 66K on the clock. We flew down, drove it back. Later folks as have some detailing to do.

Welcome, Scot and congratulations on your wife! And, of course your new Corvette! Wow, impressive, and it’s my favorite color. I’ll bet you could hardly contain yourself on the flight down. The trip back from SA must have been a blast! I hope that you all enjoy the heck out of your new baby. Maybe I’ll see you while driving around or at a local Corvette club meeting. Now, you have two keepers!
