Our weather patterns are certainly a very difficult reality when your are a Corvette crazed enthusiast living here in Canada, but when you are obsessed with the C2 and C3 Corvette like I am, you are content with staring at it in the garage for 6 months of the year. I was fortunate enough to own a '72 454 4spd for a couple of years while still in my early 20s and because of this memory I haven't stopped dreaming of aquiring another C3. So to make a long story short, this winter I will be searching for that special roadster, checking out all of the EBay sites and local ads every night, literally making my wife crazy with my constant gabbing about Vette trivia and the inevitable calling out of "Honey, come look at THIS one!" Oh well, when you got it bad.. you got it bad! Thanks for the great forum CAC.
