Wow your first, Congrats I predict much excitement and enjoyment in your future.
I purchased my first Corvette 49 years ago, and now enjoying the heck out of my 42nd.

Congratulations with the new HTC Corvette, you’re gonna love it! I’ve been driving Corvettes since my first, a 340 hp 4spd ‘62 in 1965, and find the C8 a totally different Corvette from those I’ve previously owned. I hope you enjoy it!

I have a 2022 Elkhart Lake Blue 2LT as well with the sky cool gray interior and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I need to drive it more, in the year I've had it ( I took possession on January 27, 2022) I've only put about 3000 miles on it.

I live in CA, and while I generally try not to drive it in the rain, I did take it down to So CAL after Christmas and came back up on January 30th and can a test to the fact that the convertible does not leak :-)

I'm on MacMulkin's list for a Elkhart Blue HTC as well. I'm in the 500's. Submitted my build specs last week. Praying like heck to score a '23 rather than flopping over into a (more expensive) '24.
