Some great stories here that I enjoyed reading. I just remember growing up in the 60's thinking and saying some day I'm going to own a Corvette. I just always thought they were a cool car. I bought my first one in 1989 it was a 70 Bridgehamton blue 350/300 4-speed coupe that was a 20 footer but I guess I had Corvette fever. I tracked down the original owner to find out it had 100,000 miles more on it than I thought. I think the odometer was at around 75,000 and he told me he towed his snowmobiles with it and took it hunting with his dogs in the car. The car was his daily driver, but still come on man. As they say ignorance is bliss. I put a lot of money in that car much more than it was worth at the time and the frame was pretty rusty. It was a fun car to drive but a money pit, I kept it for about 10 years. I bought my second one in the fall of 2009, a Polo green/beige LT1 6-speed coupe with decent mileage from a Chevy dealer. I enjoyed that car even though I didn't drive it much and sold it last spring. I really missed owning a Corvette and bought a 91 Quasar blue/black ZR1 with around 27K miles on it last summer that I really enjoy.
