A red Corvette was always my fantasy.
Because most women don’t talk about car fantasies, I didn’t share this with very many people. The love affair started when I was walking home from elementary school and saw the most gorgeous red and white 1956 convertible Corvette parked in the neighbor’s driveway. That was it! I altered my route home from school so I could that car.
My husband, Steve, and I really didn’t talk about cars too much and we spent far more time attending boat shows than we did in car dealerships.
BUT…one day when we went to pick up our car keys, after having our Suburban serviced, we passed through the showroom and there was the new gorgeous red Corvette. At the salesman’s coaxing, he and I sat in it and that’s when I mentioned that I had always wanted one.
I quit my job last year and, because I no longer needed a larger work car, my husband bought me my fantasy car-- the Crystal Red, 2008 coupe C6.
I believe that once you are a Corvette owner, you are a convert for life!
As for my background: I have bachelor’s degrees in Biology, Journalism, and English Literature. I have worked in print and broadcast journalism, public relations, outside sales, real estate and underwater modeling. I enjoy sewing, fishing, boating, photography, and cats (we have two—a Maine Coon and a Siamese). I have two daughters—a teacher in Long Beach and a chef in New York City.
