How many years have you been driving a Corvette? I've started driving & owning my First Corvette in 2003.

40 years this month I got my first one! January of 1972. It was a 1966 Nassau blue Convertible 327/350 HP, close ratio 4 speed with a posi. 3:70 rear end. The car was an all original 21000 mile car with leather seats, teakwood telescopic steering wheel, power windows and antenna. The price $2100! Sad to say I totaled it 2 hours after I owned it! My 2012 TR GS convertible is my 30th Corvette.


My third one at 21 in 1974

Today with my 30th Corvette

6 Vettes spread over 45 years. Bought my first one, a new 67 Vert, in 1967. Got stolen after 2 years. Didn't buy my 2nd one until 1996. Bought 4 C6s in the last 8 years.
