Default My First Corvette Has Arrived!

I love this thing! My new daily driver. I’m sure she’ll get some bumps and bruises along the way, but it’ll be worth the smiles!

Congratulations on your Vette.

Trust me when I say this as I have been daily driving my Vettes for 21 years, you will enjoy driving it every day and look forward to the next time you get to drive it. You may get a chip or two along the way, but these cars are a blast to drive every day.

My sixth Vette is being delivered to me this morning.

Thanks all! It was this or a 2018 Mustang GT perf pack. I have no doubt in my mind I made the right choice! It’s great that the Corvette community is so tight.
