Recently acquired my first Corvette.... '02 roadster, magnetic red with 4100 actual. Been driving four-door sedans and SUV's for 35 years.... it's time! It won't be a daily driver, but fortunately the weather has been nothing short of magnificant here in Nebraska this winter, so am driving it every chance I get. The photo attempt is via Tinypic..... we'll see if it works.

Thanks, I appreciate the welcome. As you can tell, I originally joined the forum when I bought the car in the fall. Thought I'd lurk about and learn the ropes before formally introducing myself. I've gotten a lot of useful information from this site already; hopefully will someday be able to contribute in return. In the meantime, it's back out to the driveway to finish polishing my wheels while the temps remain close to 70 degrees.
