After 30 years living and working in Canada's Arctic its time to move into the next stage of my life. Retirement and second childhood, or maybe third depending on how you look at it. First step decide where to live when the big day comes. Suggestions made and vetoed by the wife. Two options given. Now don't get me wrong, I like Vancouver but just to darn many family and friends and I would never have any peace. Number two Ottawa region, no brainier son's in university there so off we went house hunting. In all honesty I think it was a setup so she could keep our son tied to the apron strings but it took one item off the list.
Now while all this was going on and in the middle of purchasing the house my employer made me an offer and asked me to defer retirement for another year. Which the wife jumped on in light sped and thought it was a great idea. Conspiracy was my first thought but after a little reflection I seen an opportunity to negotiate which is never a word in her vocabulary. To my surprise she said OK. I think I need to check mt life insurance to see if it has been increased, got to be a reason for such a quick agreement!
Don't think on it too much I told myself, set a budget and start looking for the vett I wanted all my life. Well the more I researched, surfed the web and changed my mind 100 times, I have it narrowed down and just need to find the car of my dreams. So in the spring of 2017 I will be purchasing a C5 corvette.With just buying a house,last two kids still in university the budgets not what I would like but from what I seen I should be able to get a Z06 if I shop carefully if not a convertible. Wife would look good i the convertible she has not deprecated over the years like I have, but i would rather the Z06.
Anyway look forward to reading and learning more about the ins and outs of owning a vette so my spring search I am knowledgeable enough to make a good purchase
