Corvette fever is prevalent. But it was Corvette delirium for me. I\u2019ve wanted a 427 C2 Corvette since I was about 8 years old. Fast forward almost 50 years to 2016. My wife, Lisa, told me to \u201cpick one out\u201d for my 56th birthday. With all that time to consider the prospect of owning a vintage Corvette, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted. It had to be a black 427 convertible without power robbers like ac and power steering. Also, why add the weight and complexity of power brakes? It also had to have side exhausts and knock-off wheels just to enhance the all show and all go persona.<\/p>\n

So the search for my Vette was on. A short but intense internet search turned up just what I was looking for. When we arrived to look the car over, Rumblee sat in the showroom and was simply stunning. Rumblee wasn\u2019t fully restored but I told myself that as long as he ran well then that would be enough. I went on to tell myself I would only repair what broke and not try to restore it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s bad when you believe your own lies. Fortunately, Lisa saw the restoration coming. She also wanted to discuss the deal before finalizing. \u201cWhat\u2019s there to discuss??\u201d was my retort. After a brief negotiation the deal was made. Lisa and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary this February. Rumblee awaits spring and a lot of countryside driving, maybe even an NCRS judging event.<\/p>\n

I did not climb to the top of the food chain to eat carrots.<\/p>\n
I thought talk was cheap until I saw our attorney bill.<\/p>\n
Inside me there\u2019s a thin person struggling to get out, but I can usually sedate him with four or five cupcakes.<\/p>\n
