Now that I am a proud 95 corvette owner, I figured I would post and say hello. I have the owners manual and the "white" book on the way and hopefully the 2 red books, soon. Any general advice on what I need as a responsible 'vette owner?

Thanks

The most important thing you can learn here?????? WAVE at every Corvette you see on the road. It is tradition.

Welcome.

A big ol' grin, and a ready wave.

Congrats, and welcome to the bother/sisterhood.

Be well,
