Hello
I have finally bought my dream car!
2005 corvette base only 31k miles!
awesome machine...gently used...some very minor issues..
Headlights fogged a bit
HUD not working
Just fixed the harmonic balancer issue...
Other than that its perfect! And I love cruising in her!
I am in southern California and a combat wounded Marine Veteran...am married to an awesome wife as well...
On our anniversary the day after we got her along ocean coast highway.
