Default Looking to learn

Hello everyone. My name is Trevor. I'm from western Pennsylvania and I do not own a Corvette. Yet. I am here mainly for educational purposes. I know a little about Corvettes, but I want to learn more about the different drivetrains that were used, some of the modifications available, and some of the typical problems owners go through, and whatever else I can.

I am a car enthusiast in general, and I've always had a special interest in Corvettes. Unfortunately, I'm a 21 year old college student who doesn't really have the wallet to back up my Corvette flu.

To support my interest in Corvettes, I went to Bowling Green to check out the museum and the plant, and I have been to 'Corvettes at Carlisle' nine times with my uncle and his '67 Vette, and 4 times for various other car meets. All trips were a blast and fueled my interests!

So mainly, I'll be a lurker, help when I can, and learn when I can't. Thanks for taking the time to read my intro, and fueling my passion for Vettes!

-Trevor

Welcome to the Forum Trevor I was a Corvette enthusiast for many years before becoming a owner. When the time is right you'll have vette setting in your driveway. Good luck

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I've skimmed through some of the posts and see that there is a wealth of knowledge available (as promised ), and after reading through the "In Memoriam" threads, a definite camaraderie with the Vette owners and enthusiasts involved here. Kudos to everyone here.
