~7/26/23~Every year for the last 20+ years I’ve traveled up to the Princeton, New Jersey area to play golf in a charity event for the NCAA College Wrestling Hall of Fame. Pictured with me is my high school wrestling coach, Bucky Rehain…turning 81 years young soon. I earned a full Scholarship to University of Maryland for Wrestling and I owe a ton to Bucky. We first met in 1968 as my oldest sister was a Senior in 1968/69. The rest as they say is history.

~Pretty much spot on by the Peanuts characters.

~Kevin M. of Upper Marlboro, Maryland drove home his very first Corvette today! Check out his Arctic White 2023 Corvette Convertible with Adrenaline Red seats. Equipment pkg: 1LT, CF full length stripes, bright red calipers, Gloss black wheels, performance exhaust, CF fender hash stripes and more.

~Tony and G. Of Bayville, New Jersey really know how to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary…yesterday they drove down to Gaithersburg and went out to dinner. This morning bright and early they took delivery of their new Arctic White 2023 Corvette Z06 coupe. This is Tony’s third Corvette delivery with me. Equipment: 3LZ, bright red calipers, black exhaust tips, black spider wheels, torch red seat belts and red stitching.

~Greg and Paula N. Of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina drove up last evening so they could take delivery of their 8th Corvette! Today they drove home in their new Rapid Blue 2023 Corvette Z51 convertible with Adrenaline Red interior and Edge Red full length dual racing stripes. I am sure he will take it easy for the 500 mile ride home in his stunning new Corvette. Equipment: 2LT, GT2 buckets, CF painted wheels, and Z51 pkg. His daughter had me hang the squirrel from his rear view mirror as a family inside joke. Many laughs were had with that prank!

~Tom P. of Ellicott City, Maryland and his family have been buying cars and trucks from me since 1987! My bet is this is at least Corvette #25 that he has bought from me and he has referred another 20 friends and family to order their Corvettes from me. Today Tom drove home in his new Torch Red 2023 Corvette Z06 coupe. Equipment: 1LZ pkg, yellow seat belts, yellow calipers, engine intake in red, black exhaust tips, spider black wheels, and more.

~Jay H. of Chappaqua, New York factory ordered his new Shadow Gray 2023 Camaro coupe and today he took delivery. This is Jay’s first V8 since 1977 when he had an Oldsmobile Cutlass! Equipment: 2SS, 10 speed Auto trans, 6.2 V8, Recaro performance seats, magnetic ride, dual exhaust and Silver Aluminum wheel. In and out quick for his 260 mile ride home to Westchester County NY.
