Default First New vette for me

I can't believe I went out and bought me a New Corvette. I am so glad I did. For years i have seen my brother(vette nut) drive around in his corvette.... I just had to buy one. So he helped me find one. He told me about the forum and even thought of a name for me.. Vette Nut Sister...beleive it or not we have twins (matching cars, both yellow convertibles). How fun it is...

Welcome to the family, we all have a stroy of how we became vette owners. Don't forget to check out the other sections out here on the forum, and remember there are no stupid questions.

And don't forget to wave.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum. So let me understand this, you and vette nut are brother and sister and you have "twins"! We have laws against doing stuff like that..

"Can ya give me an AMEN"?
My sweetie used to poke fun at me for how much I enjoyed my Vette. I took her to the Poconos Sunday and let her go for a few hot laps at 145 mph and she is now hounding me about the next event!
Besides, ladies make awesome track drivers as you have faster reflexes than the fellas.
