I was 14 years old when I received my first ride in a Corvette, it was a 1953. Love at first site. I knew at one point I would have to have one. In fact my Indiana plate for many years was (1st LUV). When we moved to Springfield, MO. someone had that plate so for the 4 years that we lived their I had 1st LOVE. After moving back to Indiana in 2009 I just got a plain Indiana plate. I was getting to many comments about the plate that I loved my vette more then my wife. Grace really didn't care what plate I had. She said, it's your money spend it anyway you want. She was right (again). So from 1961 to present I had 10 Corvette's, I have met guys and women that have had as many as 30 Corvettes. To rich for my blood. But they have been a good car for me. My 1973 saved my life when someone pulled out in front of me when I was driving about 40 mph in the rain and at night. I didn't want to hit her so I pulled on the wheel to the left and ran right into a tree. As for the Corvette, it was a total loss, but she was O.K. that's all that I cared about. You can always buy another car. But this one get's great gas mileage, at 70 mph I get around 33 to 34 mpg and around town I get between 23 to 25. Bad thing is it runs on 93 octane. Well, that's it my hole life story. Fast bikes, Fast cars and Fast Women. (smile) dg In a message dated 4/29/2011 4:50:13 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
My brother always had Vette's. He would buy a new one seems like every year. Then he moved up to Mercedes Bends. I miss miss my brother. He passed away this past June. He was only 66. He was always buying a new car. I had a Vulcan 750. That was my first bike. Best bike I ever rode. It was my learning bike. My husband used to take to the college parking lot for me so I could ride around and learn what I was doing before I took the MSF course.My husband basically taught me how to ride. At one time, we had 7 motorcycles in the garage. My husband use to say I never sat on a bike I didn't like. LOL Sounds like you love your Vette as much as I love motorcycle.

All were nice but the Vmax was a little to much power on 2 wheels. Almost like driving the vette. When I found out that I had cancer and at that time their was no Gleevec and they would not do a BM on me because of my age. I figured what the hell time to buy another vette. I picked it up on Dec. 9th 1999 at Bowling Green, KY. It's a 2000, 6 speed conv. with over 400 h.p. and it's Loud. I was 23 years old when I purchased my first one back in 1961, and of course their were others. Wish I still had some of the older's one's. I would be a rich man now. dg -- [CMLHope] A support group of _http://cmlhope.com_ (http://cmlhope.com/) ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
