Default New guy saying,, HI, :)

Just want to say hi and Merry Christmas to everyone,

I just got this 95 convertible from my brother as a Christmas gift!!!! (I actually sold him this car when I was in the used car business.) He used this car as his everyday driver and I will be doing the same.

Looking forward to having fun with my new toy and hopefully meeting new friends here!

Here is a pic of my 1st Corvette.

Awesome! That looks like a sweet ride man. Congrats on the purchase.

Welcome to the forum.

Sounds like you had a very Merry Christmas. Post some more pictures of that bad boy.

Yes, Owner would buy a vette once a year to drive for a few month and then sell. I got to sell him the vette at what our dealership had in it.
