Default First cruise in.

Went to my first cruise in tonight at a local hangout. Unfortunatly there wasn't many vettes but alot of very nice cars. Did meet up with a guy with a 97 vert and shot the $hit for a while. Turns out he had a C4 and upgraded to a c5 about 2 years ago. Funny thing was he was asking me all kinds of questions (me being a newbie vette owner) that I could intelligently talk about. I asked him if he ever went online to the corvette forum and he looked at me with I suggested he log on and that he would find alot of the answers that he was looking for. Thank you to the corvette forum.

I have seen the same over the last couple of years. Seems some haven't-a-clue about online car forums. Of course, once they visit here... they need not go any further.

I didnt know they made a 97 vert...he must have had at least a 98. Yes, it is fun to shoot the bull with a bunch of car people. Happy motoring!

Cruise in's can be a blast. Nice you got to meet a fellow Vette owner and steer him towards this place.
