I've always owned fast cars, but I didn't get my Corvette till I was 49, I still have my 2000 FRC and doubt I will ever part with it, I definitely will own another one but I've spent way too much transforming the one I have now into the car it is to ever let it go.

I remember seeing a sticker on a IMSA racecar years ago at the Glen, "Whoever Dies with most toys WINS!" Seems like it's a truth..

Waited(impatiently) till I was 2 weeks short of 66. Two weeks later it went into winter storage. It's an '02 Mag. Red Metallic Coupe I had seen at 2 or 3 shows. The owner
traded it and a '92 Black Rose Coupe for a beautiful C7.

I don't have mine yet, but I will have my first C5 at age 26 which is 2 years away and my current lease will be ending. I've wanted a C5 since I was 6 years old back in 1996

99' FRC .. 510hp A&A

Bought it just as a toy / safer option than buying another motorcycle .. find myself driving it every day instead of driving my 07' 350z
