New Corvette Owner
As the title says, I am a newbie to the Corvette world. I owned four previous LS1 powered F-bodies.
For my 30th birthday my husband bought me a 2004 Machine Silver Metallic Coupe (M6 & Z51) package.
I am off to go read all of the foums.

I have been waving!
I did not catch him doing anything wrong.
He has a 2003 Ford F-150 Lightning and a 2001 Honda VFR800 for him to drive.
