Hello Corvette Forum!
Im honored to be a part of this board and thank everyone for there hard work and time it takes to keep this board running on a normal basis. Iv'e been a fan of Corvette's since I was 4 (16 Years) and as of yet have never owned one, but on the look out for one in the 5-7 thousand dollar range just as a start out Vet. Im mostly interested in 1967-now Vet's as the older models from 53-66 dont really tickle my fancy due to there somewhat smaller body. If anyone is from Illinois or more closer to Central Illinois id love to give a shoutout, as i live in the boring town of Mattoon, and ill be attending Mid America Motorsports Corvette show this Sept. in Effingham, IL. so i hope i can meet some of you there!
Thanks for the time!
