New here!
Hello everyone! Brand new here. Just joined like.. a day ago. Names Brandon and I'm 18! Reason i joined is because i go on a lot of car forums (especially the ones that have the same car as me) and my dad told me to get a corvette in the next year or so.
So i figured i'd join this forum, get to know some of you and learn a thing or two about corvettes before actually buying one (preferably 02+ model).
Bye!

Welcome! I lurked on this Forum for half a year before I found the right C5 for me.
I have now been enjoying my Vette for almost 3 years. You can learn a lot about the weak points of the car and and how to fix 'em, and a lot about the strong points of the car and how to enjoy them.

Welcome Brandon!
Ready for your first lesson? That logo in your avatar is for the C6. The one with the ring around the crossed flags is the one for the C5.
