Default I知 baaaaack :)

Hello everyone,
After a long absence from the Corvette community, and a few other cars along the way, I知 back.
Picked up a 2015 Shark Grey Z51 with red interior this past weekend. Has aftermarket Cray wheels on it as well, but stock other than that. I致e been stalking the forum for a long time, and picked up tips that I used on my 2005 GTO, but it is so nice to be back in a Corvette. Hoping to get out to some local events in the VA area, and already asked the wife if she wants to go to Carlisle this year. See you all out there, and you will get a wave from me for sure.
