Welcome to the family, and welcome to the forum. You sure picked a beauty. Enjoy, and don't forget to do your best "Corvette Wave" when you meet another member of the family.

Excellent choice and it just happens to be the only truly valid Corvette color choice that there is.

May your addiction last as long as your Dad's.

It already has I just never had one of my own.
I'm in my early 50's and he is in his 70's. I've only had mine for a month and I bet I already have as many miles on it as he has on his. I live in South Florida and I will drive it almost daily year round.
