... the party was last weekend, but it was precisely ten years ago today that we picked up Grace, our wonderful 2003 50th Anniversary Convertible, at the Corvette Museum. While we were waiting for the museum personnel to bring the Corvette off the floor and out to front of the museum, a middle aged woman came up to us and asked if it was our first Corvette. When we said yes, she told us the car would change our lives. Over dinner, I remember that Ivelis and I agreed that our new Corvette might be very nice, but it would not change our lives. Now, of course, I want to find that woman ... Just a few photos from Grace's highly documented life are located here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32724996@N00/sets/72157633274880649/ |

Happy Birthday, Grace.
And yes... I had no clue what owning a Corvette would do for my life... no kidding. If anyone had said that ownership of a car was life altering, I would have had to have chuckled and moved on. |

Excellent! I still drool over those - I remember my wife having to pry me out of the showroom when we bought our '03 Jeep (it was a Chevy-Jeep dealer). Maybe I'll buy one someday.
