My First 'Vette!
Hi Everybody!
Semi-longtime lurker, and now finally new Corvette owner!
I just picked up a 2016 Z51 2LT in Admiral Blue and I couldn't be happier!
I was a very active member of the Subaru community from 2001-2011, then buckled down for grad school and fell out of the scene (and all the more enjoyable things in life in general haha), and then came back out with a bigger than ever itch for a performance vehicle after starting to work again! Did a lot of research, wavered here and there on a few different models (Alfa Romeo 4C, Porsche Box/man, 6th gen Camaro SS...) but in the end, couldn't say no to a great deal on a 'Vette (not to mention one of my best Subie buddies went from an STi to a C5 years ago)! So, I'm stoked to be here and to learn all about my new baby haha! Cheers!
