WHAT A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN!

[dooscoop32]

Some of you guys may have noticed my signature I've been using this year celebrating 35 years of Corvette ownership. Well, 35 years ago today, May 1, 1971, I bought my first Corvette at age 18. It was a Nassau Blue on black leather 1966 327/350 HP, 4-speed coupe. I did buy it on my own. My late father co-signed on the loan but I paid every cent of the payments. There have been a total of 13 of the fiberglass wonders since then and I've loved every one of them.
So, to my Corvette brethren, time passes quickly when you're having fun. I honestly can't believe it's been 35 years but it has. And I have been proud to be a Corvette owner and lover.
I am attaching two pics of me and my cars-one from 1971 and one taken today of my 2004 Arctic White on Torch Red LS-1, 6-speed convertible. Please go easy on me and keep the insults to a minimum.

Dooscoop,
How could you think we'd be insulting you? I mean, 35 years of Corvette Ownership is quite an accomplishment. I rather envy you, as in 1971, I was only four years old.

Congratulations, and if anyone tries to smack down some insults, they'll have Tammy and myself to answer to!


...And remember to keep waving.

Dooscoop,

You know how much I like your current ride - so dont' get embarrassed - but here I go "again". Folks, this C5 convertible is a perfectly beautiful car. The classic white vette with red interior - a little touch of the original 53' scheme. Nicely done - don't change a thing and hats off to 35 years of Corvette ownership.

Remo:cool

Remo, if everybody on these sites were as complimentary and kind as you are, the world would be a better place. And you know how much I like your car and the beautiful photo you have. It is the best one on this site. Many thanks again to you for everything.

CONGRATULATIONS! Like you, I bought my first Corvette in that same year, 1971. It was September and the car was a new 1972 convertible in Ontario Orange firemist. I think I will fix a martini tonight and toast to you and everyone who has owned, currently owns or who will own in the future, the wonderful icon, CORVETTE!

Congratulations! It was a year or so later for me and the first one was a ’60. Dang I did not realize that it had been that long. Careers, wives, boats and planes have come and gone but there was always a Vette in the barn… time really does go fast when your having fun.
