First time corvette owner

Just wish to introduce myself as I have been lurking and taking advantage of the invaluable information on the site.

I'm in my 50's and bought my first ever Corvette early last month and as of today I put 2,050 miles on my C5 and loved every minute of it.

I'm glad to be a part of the family and hope that I am worthy enough for acceptance.
