Got my first corvette today!!
Hi everyone, Im paul. I just bought a '98 coupe, 6 speed today, so awesome!!!!! A little about me, I'm 18 and I work for an air conditioning company, I graduated from a tech high school last year, and i love corvettes
I dont have pics right now but it's your basic 98 silver coupe, totally stock except for a short shif kit. I love it, its got some issues that I'll be back here for
but its in nice shape for an 11 year old car. I'm sure this forum has alot of great info, and lookin foward to being part of the corvette world!

WELCOME
!! Yes the forum has a wealth of information,,and most of the folks will jump right in with helpful information and how to's!! I say it's not just the age ,,but the maturity!! I've seen some 18yr olds that had more common sense that some people 20 years older!!I let my son take my 69 big block 4speed to a couple proms when he was 18-19!! Sounds to me like you have your head on straight!! I firmly believe that one appreciates something when they work for it!! Enjoy your new pride and joy!!!

I didn't get the chance to buy a Vette until I was 35. I admire you for getting one so early. I can't wait to see some pics and here what ideas you have in store.
