| 1989 Corvette Coupe |
| I purchased my red 1989 Corvette Coupe on 31 October 1998. Living Down Under, Corvettes are rare and expensive but definitely worth it. Cruising around town is great, the thing turns heads left and right. It had only 47600 km (29750 miles) on the clock when I bought it and I'll be enjoying every km I add to it from now on. |
