[QUOTE="Keith Tedford, post: 33290, member: 1228"] I've owned musclecars continuously since 1967. I rode in a couple of Corvettes in the '60s and they rode so rough that I was kind of turned off. That and I wanted more than two seats. While building a house and raising a family this stuff took a back seat. When the 2005 first came out, it just struck me that THIS was what a Corvette should be like but never thought much about buying one. I drove a friend's 2008 so I knew what to expect. When, out of the blue, two guys firmed up on buying our Chevelles, the search was on, although we had already been keeping an eye on the market for some time just from a curiosity standpoint. The car we homed in on was the one we bought, with the right colour, six speed and low mileage, 21,440km. The interior smelled new and the owner cleaned the engine compartment with Q-tips. He hardly drove the car in the year he had it and was fanatical in cleanliness. After driving the car over 12K miles this summer, we know we made the right choice. It does everything well, has lots of luggage space, is comfortable, even on longer trips, performs better than almost any other car we have ever owned and gives terrific gas mileage. At ten mpg the Chevelle wasn't getting driven much any more. Now, we don't think twice about hopping in the Corvette and going for an all day run. The car will probably have a home with us for a long time. Oh yes, having a wife that loves cars doesn't hurt either. Dale loves driving the Corvette too. ;) We might just end up with a pair some time. My ultimate Corvette would be a '67 L71 coupe like the one shown with our car. This particular car was the 400 hp version. Nice. [/QUOTE]
