I'm still pulling down 60 hr. weeks as V.P. of manufacturing at a Maine shop and it leaves little time to work on the car. I turn 62 next month and I find it takes longer and longer to get my butt going on a weekend! Because we are looking ahead to retirement, next year we may say goodbye to this car, and most likely Corvettes for good.
I've had a great run with the 7 that I have owned, starting with a 71 BB coupe in 1975 or so.
OH come on man, move to Florida and get some sunshine in between the clouds...top down cruising the climate alone puts some get up and go in you....much less ZERO state income taxes, thank you Orlando/Mickey Mouse......
