Default Hello from Austin!
Hi,

My name is Rich. I live in Austin, TX and I'm a new Vette owner. I just purchased a 03' Z06 from another member here on the forum yesterday. I previously had a 02' Subaru WRX, put 120k on it and sold it a few years ago. Since then, I have really missed having a sports car. I did allot of research on sports cars and determined that the best deal out there right now is these Z06s! It has awesome looks and plenty of power. I'm very pleased so far and I'm looking forward to learning all about these vehicles! I was really lucky that I found the exact car I was looking for on my first trip out to look at one. Thanks to the forum for helping me decide on my purchase. I look forward to contributing and learning from everyone here!



Rich
