Welcome from another guy in Mich. hang in there the weather is going to get better. It's good to see your passion for cars at your age,there are a lot of bad things out there kids can get into.If you stay away from them and stay on the right path, work hard, you will have that dream car. Oh by the way stay away from the Lions also

greetings & welcome. keep the dream of owning a corvette in front of you. but in front of the corvette dream, put a #1 priority on staying healthy & getting a college degree. simply getting an undergraduate or graduate degree will radically increase the probability that you'll own several corvettes during your driving years. so far we've had two (c4 & c5); i suspect a c6 is somewhere in our future as well. get the degree. best of luck. bub

Weclome....

We won't be suprised to see your handle changing to something more "Vette" oriented after you've been here awhile.

Welcome in! You've found a good place to learn about Corvettes. And a good amount about those who drive them as well.

Keep adding to the bank account and you'll get there eventually.

Looks like fun, thanks for letting me join .
Hi Ian and welcome to the forum>Stick around and you will learn everyhing you need to know on this forum about corvettes and then when you are old enough to drive and maybe someday own one you will have a wealth of information to look back on and dont forget take notes write everything down that you learn on the forum for future reference.
