Excited to be here....
Hello everybody, I've loved Corvettes all my life and have always wanted one. I am finally at a place in life where attaining one is actually realistic. I'm so excited. But, before I hone in on the specifics, I want to learn more about The Car (maintenance costs, heads up to rip-off's, etc...). I like to the looks of the early 70 models and would probably only be able to afford one at $15k. Any advice is welcome
