Douglas caught the Corvette affliction in 1999 at 31 when he bought his first brand new Fixed Roof Coupe. Since then, he has owned 20 Corvettes, the most recent being his third FRC, a 2000 model in the same color as the first two. Douglas recently traded his 2000 FRC to feed his new car smell addiction, and he hopes when you read his pieces, you will sense his genuine passion for all things Corvette.
