Default Finally Got One!!

Well, after years of longing and worshipping from afar, I finally pulled the trigger and became a Corvette owner! I think it was my younger buddy getting his 3rd that finally pushed me over the edge.

I went down to Bloomington Gold with him and some other friends back in mid-June and found a 2001 Magnetic Red T-Top with a stick. It took me a couple of weeks to get it trucked north of the border, inspected, certified, and licensed but I am now enjoying it immensely.

The previous owner had done some upgrades to the car including a Corsa exhaust and performance brake kit so I'm hoping to learn a lot on this site.

I'm looking forward to the Wasaga Beach Cruize and to Carlisle in the next few weeks. If any other Crazy Canucks are going to be there maybe we can meet up.

Congrats and welcome to CF.
As you can see I have a magnetic red 2004 coupe and it has the Corsa exhaust also. I named mine "Maggie" which I got from the color.
Enjoy
