Vettes owned
Had 5. 68 427, 78 Anniversary, 84, 99, and C6. Each time the style changed...bought a new one. My wife of 37 wonderfull, fun-filled years, never complained. With the C6, she insisted on an automatic. Had sticks all the other years. Guess we're getting old! Applied for SS last week.
Gave up the fast women, but had to keep the fast cars!

On my 4th one. Only 29 years old. Purchased them in this order.
84 auto
94 white w/ red interior 6 spd manual
96 white auto coupe with only 34k miles when I sold it in August of 07
07 black auto coupe
Also had a new 2002 Trans Am WS6 and 2005 GTO.
One of my favorites was my 1966 Tempest Convertible.
Love AMERICAN MUSCLE.

1998 sebring silver 6spd (borlas, vararam, short shifter, lowered and z06 wheels)
2002 torch red Z06 (corsas, honker, short shifter, lowered with z06 chromies)
2008 black 6spd (LG longtubes, and black z06 wheels)
all time favorite is the black one because I've always wanted a black vette, but the z06 comes a very very close second!

Just this one. Years of dreamin' and wishin' and different financial priorities kept me in the category of a non owner. Not anymore! As the OP's profile states, he got his on 9/17/07 and so did I.
I can't express how much I'm enjoying this car. Of all the cars I've owned over all the years, this one is 'it.'
My wife teases me about spending time in the garage walking around admiring the lines. My kids, one still home and one in college seem to understand what being a carnut and specifically a 'Vette nut is all about. My wife understands too and that's why I picked the name "Speedshift" for her all those years ago. Life is good!
