Hey guys! A friend of mine suggested these forums, so here I am! My wife and I drove our first ever Corvette the other day, a yellow 03 convertible. Now we're hooked and looking for our first! I'm sure that there are several opinions on here as to what to look for, so I suppose that I'll look around and see if I can find any pointers. If anyone wants to share their opinion as to what I should be looking for, then that will be fine too! I look forward to spending a lot of time here with you guys!

Default Welcome!!

Hi Harold,

Welcome aboard! The information on this forum is GREAT! I drove my first Vette in '04 and now am completely obsessed with them!!

The forum people are very knowledgeable about their Vettes and what is going on in the Vette world, that's for sure.

If you get to a point where you are looking for a new or used Vette, check us out at www.macmulkinchevrolet.com

We are a supporting dealer of the Corvette Forum. We have a GREAT selection of NEW Vettes and we get a lot of trades on good used Vettes!

Welcome again!

Ron

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!! Good luck on your search for that just right car!

In case you didn't know, there is a specific section in the Forum for each generation of Corvette. If you are looking for a 1997 - 2004 then you should hang out in the C5 sections, like C5 General and C5's For Sale. If you are looking for a 2005 - present then you need to hang out in the C6 sections.

You access the various sections by the "Forums" drop down menu at the far left of the red menu bar near the top of each page. Have fun.

Thanks for the welcome guys! Last night I was able to mark something off of my "bucket list" when I bought that 03 convertible! I'm now a full fledged Vette owner! I hope to be hanging out here for a long time.
