Just wanted to say hello to everyone. From a small town in Ohio and the wife and I are in the process of purchasing our first ever Corvette. Right now the plan is to order it in 2013 in Feb-March. Looking forward to learning alot and gaining as much info as I can from this forum leading up to the big day.

Welcome.

I'm in northeast Ohio (Cleveland-Akron corridor) and got my first Vette last November.

The Forum is a great resource except for the waiting until Feb to order part. Definitely hurts to wait. I waited 4 days for the Bluetooth to get installed and one day for snow. That was bad enough.
