Default New guy '12 base coupe

Hello all, new guy from coppell texas. bought a '12 blade silver coupe in December. Learned a lot from the forum so far and looking forward to more.

A vette has been my dream car since I was 10, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer last year so figured it was time to buy. and don't hold it against me, I'm youngish, 29. So no old v young debate lol

You prob won't see me post much, but I read everything, lol.
