Default Corvette Heaven

This is a couple of years old now, but I think we can all identify with at least some parts of this. It is never too early to buy that Corvette of your dreams. Life is short.

My only regret in buying a new Stingray is that I didn't do it in 1963.

Turning 71 in 27 days and have had my 1st Vette since a year ago last Oct 10th. My coin jar had to be a mite larger than his but totally understand the story. It's a good one we can all identify with.

Several events in my life have memorable memories attached to them starting with my 1st enlistment in the U S Navy on August 28th 1963 and that Nov when President Kennedy was assassinated. When I had my 1st launch from a carrier (back seat) in an F4 Phantom followed by the equally impressive trap (dozen's to follow). Sept 11 2001 is attached to the same group of brain cells along with the day Lola came off the hauler Oct 10 2013. Ron Fellow's school and the optional 3rd day is in there dancing around. It's all good

Yep that's a good video, wish it was on Facebook.
