I remember my father taking me to the Chicago Auto Show where I saw the 1953 Corvette on display. I still retain that experience in my memory. On Christmas, dad gave me a model Corvette to assemble and I loved that model car. Many years later one of my neighbors owned a C4 and on the other side of my house was a C5.The Corvette bug bit not long after and after suffering for a few years I could no longer resist. I was hooked, I had to have a Vette. After pooling my resources I finally drove home in my brand new C6 Coupe. That was in 2007 and I still have that Corvette today.
