Hello from Houston

Looking to purchase my first corvette (C5) in a day or two and found this forum very helpful in answering a few questions I had; so... Thanks!
I am looking at a 2000 FRC pewter garage queen with right at 30k miles. I look forward to having a little fun around here!

Thanks,
Luke

Welcome Luke. I am sure you will love your new ride. To make it more enjoyable, you should consider a local Corvette club for the camaraderie and to participate in organized events like car shows, cruises, and track days. I suggest the San Jacinto Corvette Club: http://www.sanjacintocorvetteclub.org/

Good mix of friendly people with varied interests.

Jim
