Default New Guy on the block

I am new to the forum and wanted to say Hi. I look forward to many years of getting to know everyone and hopefully meeting some of you in person. I have been blessed over the years because I have been a Corvette owner for some time. I have owned a 1975 Black Stingray, a 1982 Red T-top , a 1998 Red coupe, a Black 1999 fixed roof hard top, a 1999 Mag Red fully loaded convertable and now a 2008 Atomic Orange coupe, and I have to say for right out of the box brute power and comfort the 08 is by far my Favorite. These new cars run like a scaulded ape and pull down amazing mpgs. My is Roger and I hail for Houston Texas

Roger from Houston, welcome to the CF and congratulations on the new 08 C6 and you had a nice collection of Vettes. Isn't wonderful how you can actually see and feel the progress of the Vettes over the years. Good to have you here and my name is Gary from Mililani, Oahu.
