Default New vette owner

Recently purchased a 2002 Silver Corvette. I am a member of the DCANG and served 16 years on active duty AF as a photographer. Live near Baltimore with my wife and two step-sons. I have a 14 yr old son and 10 yr old daughter that live in Houston. Last fast car I owned was an 85 Iroc-Z, had a great time with that car. Love this Corvette though! I look forward with interacting with the members and meeting fellow Corvette owners.

When your 19 and driving an 82 Ford Escort, the Iroc was indeed fast. Loved that car.

Congrats on your first Vette!

As soon as I figure this board out I'll get pics up.
