New to Forum -- Longtime Vette Guy
Several months ago I started reading posts on the forum. A few weeks ago I got some help from
my kids and registered as a forum member. Recently, they gave me some help figuring out pics.
I have found that there are folks who share some amazing knowledge. Also, some great rivalries,
that generally remain friendly.
As a longtime Vette owner -- 34 years, I hope that I will be able to give back some experience,
as well as gain from the deep experience of many forum members.
My first was a C2 1967 roadster. Dummy me -- I didn't keep that car.
Since then I've had C3, C5 and C6 generations.
Now for a try at pics of my current cars. I hope this works.

Yes, the Cyber Grey 09. Previously, I had a pewter 98 which I loved and I had it for 7 years. The new car was an early production 09 and I've had it close to 6 months now with 3K miles. I like absolutely everything about it.
The 80 is older than my kids. They say "Dad you can never sell the red Corvette." I like its looks, but the 09 does everything better by a long shot.

Sweet! Welcome to the forum, neighbor!
You should come to the Chick-Fil-A on Fridays in Dulles for the meet-ups. They will get going as soon as the weather warms.

You will love it
Well you have the Vette experience multiplied several times. Your current crop looks really good, and the photo quality is excellent.
Now since you are a newbie you need to paint one of them Arctic White to be an accepted Forum member. It's a requirement.

The CANDY 80 was originally Classic White with Red leather when I ordered it new. If somebody had told me about the requirement earlier, I could have left it stock. Oh well.
