Default Hooked for life

New to the forum, been browsing over a year here. Alot of good information I've read and learned from everyone here at the forum. Pulled the trigger on an 08 last year for the wife, and bought me a 70 a short time later, Its been a good year. Wonder what next year will bring, maybe a lift, a C1, or both.

Welcome! A C3, and a C6. That's great. That's my plan to! C1 would be sweet to. Enjoy the forum. Lots of good info here, as well as the C3 section.

I'm new to this forum as well. Also new to owning. One of my brothers had a C2, C3 & C4. My other brother still has his C3. I never thought I would be an owner until my son convinced me to buy him a C4 instead of handing down my Honda. (Go figure!) After driving his C4 a few times, I ended up buying a C6 GS. I'm hooked now!

Congratulations....it sounds like it's been a good year!

Besides your two Corvettes make it a double addiction....share your experiences, questions, expertise and opinions here on the forum often. Enjoy your Corvettes!
