Greetings from a Newbie

Just found this board and just wanted to say hi to everyone. I've already gotten a lot of good information from the various posts here. and I've only been on a couple of days. I've wanted a Corvette since I was 16, so I'm only 34 yrs late, but finally got the house paid off and the kid will be going to college in 2008 so I decided to take the plunge. Found a beautiful black 1998 conv. with light oak interior and top. 21000 original miles, never seen rain, owned by a 59 yr old women who only put 10,000 miles in 6 yrs, never abused, always in climate controlled garage and I plan on keeping it that way. Appraised in strong #2 showroom condition. Looking forward to getting out and enjoying the new purchase.

Congratulations!

I bought my first one ~7 - 8 months ago. (I turned 50 last November). The excitment never goes away, nor does the addiction to modify it.

Welcome to the CF. I never thought I'd own a Vette, but I bought one 13 months ago and I'm having a ball. Here's a wave from NJ.

Although it sounds like we are able to post attachments, we really have to load our pics on a server, and post the url for them. It is not like attaching a file into a word doc...

Welcome, don't let her ne a garage queen - get out any enjoy her...
