M. Braxton is riding a 6 speed 2008 Red Corvette Coupe. Retired from Department of Transportation after 37 years! As a little boy I always dreamed of owning a Mustang figuring that I would never own a corvette. Well I grew up and had two mustangs. I made some good choices as a kid growing up and I found myself financially able to make my dreams come true. My first corvette which was a black 1979 coupe I keep it for 27 years. However, when I retired in 2008 I decided to treat myself to a new corvette. I have been truly blessed.
