Default I got engaged 3 months ago and I bought my '18 z51 last week...


One gives me unwavering love while the other brings a smile to my face everyday!

This is my 4th Corvette and it's leaps and bounds above my C6(also a z51) on so many levels.

Coming from a Cayman, which was a cute sports car, the Vette is an incredibly powerful incredibly beautiful sports car.

Back in the saddle again!
Ignore the geek with the white shades!<br/>



I don't what she sees in me!





Grabbing a 6 pack to celebrate after picking-up the car!



When I first laid my eyes on her!

Enjoy the car before getting hitched. You won't be able to afford it after

I had crossed shopped the Vette against a Cayman and while it was fun to drive it just didn't "do it for me" like the vette did.

Ride hard and often, but don't throw a rod in one of them.

I hope you both have the joy, and love of the car.
Tell you join a club, they do lot of trips, which you have fun doing, before she tells you, kids are on the way, and we need to sell the Corvette.
