Default Finally joined the Corvette family

I just wanted to introduce myself and thank everyone for the information I’ve alredy gained from the site. A few weeks ago I finally purchased my first Corvette, A 2017 Stingray Z51 3LT. IT had 1600 miles on it when I purchased and I’ve easily doubled that mileage in the 3 weeks I’ve had it. It’s my daily driver and I’ve loved every minute so far. I’ve owned a 2013 Camaro SS and also completed a frame off restoration on a 77 Camaro Z28 but they’re nothing like this beast. My 14 year old son has enjoyed it more than I have I do believe.

Welcome from another very recent convert! Both my wife and I also got into C7s, after similar previous hot rod experience. Really can't beat everything these cars offer! Welcome, great group of folks here.
