Hello to all, Now living in San Antonio, Texas after 20 years on Hawai'i Island. Before that I lived in Detroit, where I was born and raised. Just bought the 3rd Corvette of my life. First was a 63 convert, second was a 69 coupe, and now I found a gorgeous 2014 C7 arctic white coupe with <5000 miles. Pristine condition. I'm 73 Years young and have been retired going on 22 years. I'm happy to be here and I'm sure I will have a blast exploring this forum and learning about my new ride.

I think the bigger question here is... how did you retire at 51 years old??
Congrats on the C7.
