Default Introduction

Just wanted to take a second to introduce myself. This is my first post. I'm picking up my first Corvette, a 2005 black c6 on Nov 20, from another member of this forum, who in turn is picking up a new 07 z06. I'm very excited and I think this will be the first of many vettes to come.

Does anybody know of any Corvette groups in the Raleigh, NC area? Thanks.

It's good to see another Aggie here. I'm class of 2003... so not quite true "Old Army" . I'll be back at A&M in December for my brother's graduation.

Enjoy Raleigh. It's a great city and the weather is going to be great this weekend. If you're looking for a golf game tommorrow, let me know.
