I have a huge bin of LT5 Registry newsletters that I have not even had the time to read and I guess I can do that in retirement. The guy I bought my 91Z from in Hawaii was into it and left me all the stuff he collected. It is pretty interesting to see how they did it all in those days mailing hard copy newsletters. Those were the true innovators leading the way when these cars came out.

I am glad you are still here despite your new car. It is the people like you after all that make it great. Thank you.

Flattery will get you everywhere, Craig. Hope you can retire as soon as you want--I guarantee you will enjoy it. I retired fully about 8 years ago and really semi retired seven years before that and sold BMWs and MINIs at a local dealer for fun (not profit). No regrets at all. Just this weekend we had our 8 year old granddaughter up for an overnight and had to grocery shopping; she lit up and said "Can we go in the Corvette, Pop?" the next day when working on a project with her, I said we probably should go to the hardware store for a couple small parts. She once again said, "Can we go in the Corvette?" Retirement doesn't get any better than that. --Bob
