Hi Larry, Glad to hear you picked up another Vette after 30yrs. I'm 60yo also, but not retired. I bought a 69 Vette after getting out of the Army in 1972 for $3200, boy things have changed, anyway I have had 6 Vette since then, I have 2 (88/99) now. For me Vettes are fun to drive, fun to maintain and they look great. Every time I sold one I longed for another and at this point in my life, I wish I was able to have kept them all. Good luck with your new ride, this is a great site and the members are most helpful.

A big thanks to all of the nice welcoming comments. After having my first Vette. A red 1964 convert, I bought in 1975 for $2,345 and it had a rod knocking the bug has been planted. I sold that after several fun years and partial restoration and a obtained a slightly used 1976 which I drove and loved until the wife informed me that it was time for a station wagon. 30 years later, two sons through college and a new wife that likes Corvettes, the "bug" bites and it's on. I know all you folks understand. Again, thank for the warm welcome.
