Default Hello From Western PA

I just got an 06 convertible several weeks ago, found this forum, got a lot of great info reading it and wanted to say hello. This is my third two-seater sports car in the past 5 years. The first was a TT convertible and the second (which I traded on the Vette) was a Z4 convertible. Both nice cars, but IMO there is no comparison to the Vette. I would get "tested" a lot more by other drivers with the other two, but not so much now.

Congrats on the 06 vert!! Even though you won't get much "testing", you will be driving around for quite a while with a big "corvette grin" on your face! Welcome to the Forum. They are great for learning more about vettes and you will meet a lot of new friends.

Thanks for the replies and the welcomes. I have had a lot of questions about the Vette and this forum has been a great place to get the answers. The car is my daily driver (at least until winter) and it's the only positive about dragging myself to work. Thanks again.
