Hi, new to Corvette ownership.

Hi all. Couldn't find a new member area so I'll post here.

Just purchased a 2013 Grand Sport 3LT, CGM, A6, Dual mode exhaust, chrome wheels, red calipers.

I'm a retired aerospace engineer and Air Force disabled veteran. I love all performance cars and have owned mopar, ford etc.

Most recent vehicle was my 2003 Mach 1 Mustang but, sold it to get this retirement gift.

Loving the Corvette so far.

Again thanks for the warm welcome, just had to say goodbye to the good folks at mach1registry.com as they have your account linked to your vin # and the new owner of the Mach 1 will be needing that heh. Man, I miss that car.

I'm finally at a pc so I can show some preliminary pictures. I just hope they aren't too large. If so I apologize in advance. Looking forward to a great time on these forums, even after a hiccup heh.
