Default Greetings from Canada
Hello all,

After looking at this site I thought it would be exciting be in a forum with people as excited about their car as I am...I am a first time Corvette owner, I've started off with a 2007 C6 Victory Red Coupe. If Winter ever leaves Toronto I might get to see what my car can really do!!!

Canada--isn't that the little city around Niagara Falls???

Just picking on you. I love Quebec and Montreal. Lived in Erie and never made it to Toronto. Damn, damn, damn.

Most people in Toronto can't even pronounce Saskatchewan, let alone spell it!

I bet you just opened her up on that stretch of the 401 between Kingston and Bowmanville! That's the next best thing to a track!!!

I had her going pretty good. It's a good thing I've got HUD to keep my speed in front of me. The 401 is a lot more interesting and fun to drive (in clear weather) east of Toronto than west.
