Default Dad won a Corvette tonight

We were at the local builder's association holiday party tonight and they were raffling a 1971 Stingray in pretty good condition - the 350 ci 270 hp version. Tickets were limited to 300 and sold for $100. Being an active member and former president, he felt he should contribute. Proceeds go to local scholarships and such.

His name was drawn! It's black, which I discovered isn't an original color, but it's in nice shape. T-tops. I'm psyched!
