CORVETTE HOBBY 

"Your Best Bet is a Corvette"

            Above is my C5 Corvette and it is a head turner. A long with my  Mercedes 450SL and  two 
 C4 Convertibles , they have been great cars in their own way. I've managed to keep three or four sports cars over the years.  Power, performance, handling, reliability and resale value keeps me in the corvette  family. You see , Life begins in the fast lane and thanks to my C5 Speed , Styling and performance  makes this car an awesome competitor.

Now, America's first true sports car. A car that once seemed to scream in the sixties and seventies that baby  "I'm Young , I'm Ready and I'm about to steal your girlfriend.  A car born in the middle of America's first Baby Boom, is now called the Sports Car of th  Older Guys. You see , the average age of a Corvette Owner is 56 years old. Now , After many years of being a Corvette Owner nothing has changed my mind . The Vette is still  my favorite American Sports Car.

THIS WAS MY FIRST CORVETTE ..1971 STINGRAY, WISH I HAD IT NOW....

I'm Roy and I have been a Corvette owner for over 30 years. I was bitten by the Corvette bug in 1972 when I purchase my first Vette , a 1971 Stingray Convertible., 4 speed , blue with a white convertible top , "Man that car was  sharp" ( Pictured to the right).  Back during those days  I was a young energetic teacher and
basketball coach at Washington Drive Jr. High School and at that time my Vette and my basketball seem to go hand in hand with  my spirit and competitiveness. I followed my passion for basketball for the next 30 years as a high school coach  , retiring as head basketball coach at E.E. Smith High School after 10 very successful seasons at my alma mater. 

Well , as you can see by now , this site is dedicated to my three passions...... Family , Sports and  Corvettes   , three gifts that brought a lot of enjoyment and fun to my life. 

WHY CORVETTE

 The Corvette is one of the most desired cars  in America. It is America only true sports car. The Corvette has been around for more than 55 years but the car did not always have such a sports car appeal. The first Corvette only had a six speed engine but in 1955 it gained a mighty V8 and the Corvette could do 60 in fewer than 6 seconds.

The performance by the modern day Corvette is nothing but astounding. The Corvettes that are made now are able to go from 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds. The wonderful thing about the Corvette is that it does not have to be a car just for those that enjoy sports cars. You can enjoy the Corvette because of how awesome it looks. The Corvette has been around the block and it knows how to handle and drive you crazy.

Now you might wonder why the Corvette has been a fixture so long. Part of the reason this car has remained the most iconic sports car in America is that it gets great gas mileage. Highway use sees the new Corvettes getting up near 30 miles and in town it gets 15-18. That is great gas mileage for a sports car. You have to love the exterior of the Corvette as it is cool, quick and sleek.

However, many people seem to see the Corvette as a car that knows what it is doing. If you are a Corvette owner, then you know that you will receive constant attention whenever you are driving around. Then again, who doesn't love to be the center of attention? Many people who buy different brands of luxury sports cars regret not taking the option to buy a Corvette. The people who buy Corvettes are those that can truly afford the fun. They know how to handle the cars on the road, and they know that Corvettes can be useful in everyday driving and showing off to friends.

If you are someone considering buying a Corvette, you should try test driving Americas only sports car. After all, you are getting the chance to try a car that can bring you both a great ride on
the road and a great ride for your self-esteem. The Corvette is the only sports car that will bring you both performance, and the look to make it worth the money you are going to be paying.
