Default Hello

Well I just registered with this cite recently, even though I do surf it often. I don't have a Vette yet, but will have one in about a year when I graduate from college.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone.

Ivan

Welcome to the forum! You're headed in the right direction by joining up.

We look forward to seeing pictures of that "first" Vette when you get it!

Hi Ivan,
Start planning on your Vette, and then go see your tax accountant to help you get it.

I know how you feel already picking out a dream car before graduation. For me it was a 300ZX Twin turbo back in 1990. I graduated in 1992. I eventually got one as a daily driver about 3 years ago. I sold it last year before our second child was born.

Best of luck and congrats to you for staying in school. All of that hard work will really pay off.
