[QUOTE="turbozig, post: 165519, member: 915"] I believe I was about 8ish years old. I saw my first C3 chrome bumper sidepipe Vette and thought what is that rocketship? I started asking more questions and learned what that amazing machine really was. Everytime we would go for a ride anywhere I would search for Corvette's and count them as they were seen during outings. At that point I told myself that one day I was going to own a blue 68-72 Corvette. Many vehicles and muscle cars were owned since, but no Corvette's in the garage yet. Fast forwarding to the age of 41, I decided to quit smoking, and as a reward I decided to finally treat myself with finding and purchasing the car of my childhood dreams. It was a numbers matching original 70 Bridgehampton Blue LS5 454 coupe. I found it on eBay in Arkansas, got a flight down, inspected it for hours, test drove it and finalized the deal with the seller. What an experience that was worth the wait! Had it sent home in an enclosed transport trailer, and have been having a blast doing a full nut and bolt restoration on it ever since. I had decided to get fit and change my entire lifestyle at about age 44. I saw the first 2014 Laguna Blue C7 convertible with Carbon Flash stripes. Well, that day I felt like I was 8 years old again and totally fell in love with that car. I researched every last detail about the C7 for the next year. I thought that I had never purchased a new car in my life yet, and what better one to purchase. After much dealer searching, I finally received an allocation to order my C7. I ordered my 2015 Laguna Blue Z51 M7 convertible with Carbon Flash stripes and fully loaded with every detail I wanted, including my name on the console factory plaque with vin number. The delivery experience was again an amazing experience. I have since met a new and wonderful group of friends through the CCF forum and Corvette comradery, and life has never been the same. Hard work, persistence and dedication has definately paid off. This is proof that dreams really can come true. Living the dream!! [/QUOTE]
