“A Vette of Gratitude“Living with an Attitude of Gratitude.Giving thanks for your Corvette will cause you to have more joy in life.
Never take your Corvettes for granted. It will always be a Great Blessing. You should always be Thankful – and excited tojust spend quality time with your Corvette(s). When I read true stories of real Corvette owners telling their story about howthey came to long awaited Corvette, I definitely get a very real sense of their Happiness & Thankfulness.
I can just feel their spirit of being Thankful. In fact some Corvettes are even passed on to the next generation. Remember,on that special day when you took delivery of your very first Corvette. ….Truly, a lifetime memory!
Now, I recommend you purchase a “Gratitude Chair.”
Pictured here, is my Gratitude Chair (with paddle shifters) and a cup holder to put in your garage -(Happy Room) so that you can just sit there and contemplate the Blessing of your Corvette.
Remember, this old Amish proverb - “Choose thy CORVETTE,…. then - Love thy Corvette. “
Happiness is a powerful emotion that comes from being Thankful.
The fastest Road to Happiness (0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds with a 2019 ZR1 & 212 mph) is by beingThankful!
Here’s a “Heads up Display” of life with CORVETTE Ownership.
You must purchase that special Corvette before you find yourself in the “Clutches” of old age because those health careissues could “Brake” this dream.
There’s a Kansas CORVETTE with a personal license plate that reads - “FINALLY“.
Remember, FINALLY is probably later in life than you think!
The Highest “G- Force” in life comes from the speed of aging.
That will really set you back in your seat - a recliner.
Don’t just “Brake” for a slower life style of senior living.
An “Automatic” reaction to Corvette ownership is the “premium octane” of emotions that you feel from having a super car- (CORVETTE) in your garage.
That will certainly make you “fuel good “.
Do you “Run Flat” in some of life’s circumstances as you go through difficult times? Just keep on “monitoring the pressurein life “with perseverance, even with low air pressure, so that you and your CORVETTE will come out ahead in the “Race ofLife.”
If you need more space in life, then, get a Lift for your CORVETTE(s) and then the Corvette will give your spirits a “Lift inLife “.
How are you traveling through life?
Do you go around in “Economy Mode, or Touring mode, or maybe you approach life more aggressively in Full TrackMode?
You will be so Happy, you may need “Electronic Stability Control.“
So each new day, Do you feel “Normally Aspirated or Super charged”?
I believe, I have made a “sound decision” to put my Corvette in Track mode - so I can hear that addicting sound of thatpowerful growling exhaust “blasting out” its provocative booming “deep Corvette voice” coming through thoseImposing Four Chrome Exhaust Pipes! … Oh how, I love that sound!
Remember, since there is Life after DEBT,
You must decide - What is the Guiding “On-Star” in your own life?
Will you push the On Star Blue Button or the Red Button?
Well, I hope these thoughts will cast some “high intensity discharge light” on your way of life. May this put you on the“right track” (race) in life.
Thankfully Submitted to the Wichita ACCC with a “magnitudnoulsy overwhelming” expression of “Thankfulness andGoodness.“
