Default Hello To Everyone

Hey, I figured I would go ahead and introduce myself. My name is Matt and as of current I do not own a Vette but nearing the end of this year to the beginning of next I'll be actively searching for one. I currently own a Cobalt SS and it's fine, a decent daily driver thats good on gas for a 1 and 1/2 hour commute to and from work. But recently I've changed my route and I no longer drive as much changing a 68 mile drive into a 7 mile drive! (using public transportation now, hate no parking in the city). So I've decided there is no need for me to hold on to this car and I might as well pick up a car I've always had love for, the Corvette.

I'm really leaning towards the C5 Z06's and I'm hoping to be able to find a nice deal later on into the year. I just wanted to go ahead and jump into the site since I've been actively looking around here pretty often anyway. I'm hoping to find great information on the car so I have an idea on what to expect when I pick one up and I know forums are a great place to start with the abundance of knowledge floating around. Thanks guys and nice to meet all of you.

Thanks a lot. Just looking around the forum, I can see that there is much to learn about the car... and I am looking forward to everything I'll be actively looking around around until I feel that I have found the "right" one for me.

Thanks for all the support and welcomes
