A. Wade is a member of Chosen Few Vette Club Cleveland!. Retired Contracts Negotiator after 30 years with Eaton Corporation He has a 1998 Red Convertible! Reason I love Corvettes: I fell in love with Corvettes when I first saw the Stingray, and have wanted one ever since. But when you finally make enough money to get one, life gets in the way. Such as a wife and two children, houses and college tuition. When both my children finally moved out of the house I started looking for a Corvette. My wife actually pushed me to go ahead and buy it. I knew there was a special reason I loved her from the beginning.
