Default 2016 Corvette
My salesman / friend just called me. My new 2016 TR 2LT has just been built. VIN #117. Something for me to look forward to following my bypass operation on the 29th.
They're coming off the line!!

Good luck on the surgery. And congratulations on the new Corvette. Of course, you will be careful when you get to drive the car for the first time. And remember, it has no back seat so you can't get someone to give you a ride in your new car.

Took my son to one last year but generally no. They disappoint to often.I went to a game at Briggs Stadium once around Nov. 1956. It was freezing and that did it for me.

There is life after bypass surgery. Ten and one half years ago for me. Go to rehab, be all you can be. I recovered 99.9%, currently running 5K races - 34 minutes 22 seconds. You can do it! I purchased a C4 coupe with 12,000 miles to help my recovery. Owned it three months before I could open the hood. Currently my C7 convertible is the fourth Corvette since then.

Wow! Glad everything turned out so well for you. I hope to walk a 5K.

Congrats on the Vette... Lucky #117!

Best of luck with the surgery and recovery. Rehab and Physical Therapy is where you make your money....
