I am a regular hard working guy who, like hard working guys all around the world, has made all the necessary sacrifices to provide for his family. Also, in l994, I had a life threatening bout with cancer that has forever changed my view of the way I live my life.
Now that the kids are educated and gone, it is time for me to become a little less practical and a little more adventurous. So I bought a 2002 Silver Corvette coupe, my first one. In spite of being low to the ground and somewhat difficult to enter and exit, there is a definite joy factor only found in Corvette ownership.
It is really kind of funny. I got two dogs knowing that pet ownership can lower one's heart rate and create a general calming affect. Then I buy a Corvette so that my heart can find a new location, namely in the middle of my throat.
It is not just about speed though, well maybe 85% of it is, but it is also about having a machine that is designed and built about as good as any car can be. In my business I've learned to strive for a product that looks and performs as good as possible. The Corvette exceeds my high expectations.
If you have ever thought about getting a sports car, or a Corvette, do it! Don't buy a wimpy little thing, go for it, get the best. You may never pass this way again. There are other sports cars that cost a lot more money, but I guarantee you that a Corvette will give you everything and more that you are looking for in a sports machine.
