Default Newbie!!

Hi, I am new to the forum, finding it verrrry interesting. I surprised my husband a few weeks ago with "The Admiral", and now we are as they say, "bitten" by that big a** bug, Corvette ownership. We are in California (San Francisco East Bay) and would like to find out about local clubs, events, shops, etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated....by the way, I bought it for my husband not knowing how much fun I would have driving it!!!!!! :seeya

Welcome. This is a great place.

By the way, I get dibs if you have a sister. Especially if she likes to buy married men Corvettes. :lol:

Welcome to the Forum :seeya I have learned more here in less than a year than all the Corvette mags and visits to Carlisle and Bloomington gold put together. Enjoy the obsession and don't forget to wave at other Corvettes! :blueangel:

Welcome to our family. Now that you've bought the car, get your husband to pay for the mods. (God knows, it'll be cheaper for you...lol)

Enjoy the corvette feeling.

Send us a pic.
