Default Bucket List Checked Off
After over 50years in the automotive service industry and having been exposed to Corvettes for most of them, I finally got the opportunity to own one. In June a friend, and my first Corvette owning boss, facilitated my purchase of a 2000 Coupe with 34k on the clock. LT Pewter in color and has almost ALL the options and so far other a full service of fluids etc, just some lighting mods. Just enjoying driving, but with winter coming here in Nebraska, will have to pick and choose days. The nice thing about retirement is I have nothing but time...
