A Long Time Coming

My parents bought a new 1971 Corvette convertible three years before I was born. They still have it. I’ve been a Corvette fan all my life. My dad used to show that car and he would let me put Armor-All on the armrests. I thought that I might never have a Corvette of my own until I inherited that car, but I finally got the opportunity to buy one. I had been watching a 2018 Grand Sport for a while. It sat on the lot for a year and the price kept dropping. The C8 was about to come out and prices on C7s were going down. Finally, it dropped to a point where I could swing it. My wife agreed that we could buy it. I couldn’t believe it when we got it home. I’ve had it 5 years now and I still can’t believe it’s mine.
