@bobfett- I Liked your Corvette story. Mine was similar, My Sunday School teacher (a single man - unusual in the 50's) bought a 1958 Corvette and told us boys (the class was all boys) that he would take one of us home each week in the Corvette IF we came to Sunday school...well attendance was perfect from that day on . I wanted one from that day forward, but until 2014 like you could not afford one. Finally I was able to find a used one (1998) that was both in reasonable condition and affordable...I still have it!. P.S. I also owned a 1959 Triumph TR-3a.
OK back to the game!!
