Default The dream has been achieved

After looking and lusting for the past 5 years, and a childhood spent admiring this generation, I now own a '94 Polo Green 6 speed coupe.

This car is absolutely immaculate as the previous owner was the original owner and babied the car for the past 20 years. It has been lovingly cared for and only has 28k original miles. It will now receive that same tender loving care in my possession as well.

It's such a surreal feeling to finally own my dream car, at the age of 23. I am greatly blessed to have achieved this so soon. I humbly look forward to the miles and smiles ahead of us, along with all of the knowledge I have left to gain from this great forum.

Pictures coming tomorrow!

Congrats to you. The last Polo Green I saw was years ago at a Best Buy and it was slammed. It looked killer.

Enjoy!!

Enjoy the dream.

Congratulations, young fella! Most of us had to wait until considerably later in life to get our first Corvette. What was, a couple of generations ago, mostly a young person's car, has become, almost exclusively, a toy that only the older folks now own. It's good to see young people in Corvettes in this day and age.

Respect the car, and respect the trouble and danger it can cause to the unwise. You've scored a fine specimen of a great car!

Live well,

SJW

Congrats and welcome.. One thing you should look at getting is the factory service manuals for it, they are invaluable for any needed work..
