Hello from Oregon.
32 years ago the manager at the store I worked at had a brand new
1978 Silver Anniversary Pace Car Vette that I washed everyday and
waxed every other day for him. It was a real beauty and new. I would move it
over 3 spaces so it would be closer to the hose. Backing out and
pulling forward was a true thrill. I was 17 years old and loved
the curves, the smell of the leather interior and the distinct engine rumble.
One day, I got finished washing and waxing it and handed the keys back
to Jim. To my suprise he handed them back and said I could take it
around the block. So I went out and took off the T-Tops and took it out.
I will never forget that beautiful sunny day, with the radio blasting the
song 'I'm Turning Japanese' by the Vapors. It was the beginning of the
dream of one day owning a Corvette. I was hooked.
Well, nearly 32 years later, the dream comes true in the form of a
2004 Comemmorative Edition Convertible Corvette.
The late February snow storm outside hasn't brought me down, I got
one day to drive around town before the storm hit. I will post a few
pictures when I can take some on the next sunny day.
I can't wait for this summer!
