The year 2000 found me longing for something more exciting than the leisurely pace of an old Cadillac as my primary vehicle. Fortunately, a nearby specialty dealership was serving up tasty Corvettes of all varieties. A '95 coupe in Bright Aqua just like the one pictured kept tugging at my sleeve, so I relented and took her home. A base LT1, an automatic, basic seats (which I prefer to the sport seats) and only a tinted roof panel (I didn't want the painted one). Oh, the fun we had! Too soon, another inattentive SUV driver smashed her from behind, shattering her rear tub and my heart. 😢

Damn man!! That sucks. Funny enough Eddie. I get the most tailgaters driving my ‘95. I would be absolutely heartbroken if that were to happen. Hopefully not since inattentive drivers increase every year and I drive it often.🤞🏼
