Default first corvette

I have been reading this forum each day for the last 8 months. I finally bought a torch red `98 coupe with 4,000 miles. I have waited years for a corvette. Your information and members are priceless. I will continue my education on this forum. Thanks...

Welcome and congratulations! 4000 miles on a 98?! That owner must have been a fool.What fun is it to look at and not drive? If you are driving it (hope not now in the salt), be careful on those old runflats in the cold. They are slippery enough when new. Shortsville NY? I guess the Vette population in Ontario Co just grew about 20%. Hope to meet you at an event next spring. Look for the lowered yellow vert with chrome hoops. Tom
Edit- Hey, time to change your profile. Nothing like going from Vetteless to "Got one!"
