I wish everyday could be this good, I love my vette!
Mid 80's and top off...I love everything about my vette, just owning this great affordable American sports car is beyond words. I don't care that at 8500 miles I am shopping for tires, or that the navigation is sub par or that the GS/ wide body gets less mpg than the standard coupe. I just love to take off the targa top, keep the performance exhaust on, radio cranked up and roll along however I damn well please!!

Well said Scott! We are living the American dream. Btw your carbon flash color is beyond stunning in person. I used to think I liked black....until I saw your Vette.

It's refreshing to hear a happy owner. Between my three I've got 100K miles and no major problems.
You're right, today was a great top off day. If you're looking for a day trip tomorrow go to Williamsburg, take the Jamestown/Scotland ferry, stop at Edwards Ham outlet in Surry for great pork products and have a great sub at the New York Deli.

I agree, just owned our Vette 2 weeks and I am in LOVE with it.
Stays in the garage but I did get home early and decided to take it to the grocery store for a quick trip.
Have to admit it is VERY SWEET to see the heads turn and read lips when you go by but the real treat was when I came out of the store and saw a sweet teen age girl standing beside my Vette, which was in the far end of the parking lot of course, while her Dad was taking her picture. They were some what red faced when I walked up but I put them at ease and let her sit in the drivers seat while I was putting my bags in the rear. She was grinning from ear to ear, Her Dad was too

I've had mine for over 5 years and I still find "reasons" just to drive the car to the grocery store...pick up a sandwich...anything just to go out for a spin. I also wonder if anybody does what I used to do and just peek in the garage late at night just to look at the car. (With a big grin on my face.) I have owned more expensive cars and a few other "sports" cars but i've never taken care of the others or felt the pride of ownership like I do with the Vette.
