Default short intro

Hey, new user here. I don't yet own a vette but do have a Silverado Pickup. (at least it's a chevy) I officially label myself as a corvette enthusiast at the moment. My mom is "LA Vette Girl" and I was the one who took the vettes over 120 (as posted in another thread) It should be noted that I am the gearhead of the house and do most all the maintnence and care on the vettes that live here. I'm here to learn as much as I can before I go out and buy my own.
