Vette(s): 1974 Stingray Coupe LS4 454 Dark Brown Metallic with Deluxe Saddle interior
Well, Looks like I'll be spending a better part of my summer '07 in Iraq... Oh joy!
But I am not complaining too much, it should only be a few months.... but once you're there, anything can happen! The Active duty guys go for a year and then some, Ill only be there for a few months
What the heck, I have Saudi Arabia and Kuwait on my "been there, done that" list, might as well add another poop-hole!!!
Guess I gotta pick up the pace and get my car on the road to enjoy before I go!!!!

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Well I've got all three on my "Been there, done that" list, but I'm retired now and wish you the best of luck and make sure you stay safe over there, we want all our C3VR member (and all our Military) to return safely.
