Of all the cars, why own a Corvette? I'm not old enough to be having a mid-life crisis. Being a soon to be married man, I'm not seeking the attention of women. Then why? Corvette is just something that gets into you. There's no getting away from it once it starts.
For me, it started when my Dad purchased a brand new two tone silver Corvette in 1986. I didn't know exactly what it was or why it was so cool, but there was just SOMETHING about that car. I remember running out to the garage as he got home from work to watch the headlights roll over. Riding in it was different than riding in any other car. I couldn't wait to be old enough to drive it. Imagine how shattered I was when just before I turned 15, my Dad sold that amazing car for a Cadillac!
After he passed away, I decided it was time to start looking for my own. I found an almost identical 1985 silver Z51 coupe in Jupiter, FL in 2003. After a thorough inspection, it was mine.
Every turn of the key, every mile down the road is a reminder of Dad and the passion for Corvette he started.
This site, this blog and these forums are dedicated to the lifestyle, passion and hobby of Corvette ownership. I hope that it is helpful, fun and informative to all who visit.
