Hello From Texas!
I'm the new guy from Texas. I don't own a Corvette, but It's one of my favorite cars. I grew up around cars and had several really rare cars in the past. I had a '68 Shelby GT350 Fastback, a '70 Boss 302 and even a '66 Sunbeam Tiger 260 V8. My current car is a 2007 Lotus Exige S. It's a blast to drive, but I haven't been able to try it out on the track yet. They opened a 2.5 mile road course last year about 20 minutes from my house. I got to take the Exige out for 2 test laps, just to see what the track was like, and I can't wait to do a Track Day!

Not really... it's about 300 miles away. I'm just North of Dallas.

Welcome from another nOOb Texan. I just traded in an '07 s2000 with only 4700 miles on it. No complaints, it was fun to drive but just a little tight for me at 6'1" / 210. Anyway, I fit nicely in the Vette.
