Default Greetings from Plano, TX

Hello all. I truly enjoy reading the forum. I have wanted a Corvette since my preteen years. Finally bought my first one in October. It is a 2009, velocity yellow certified preowned Vette. Bought it with 2700 miles on the clock. I look forward to continuing to read here and learning all I can about these cars. Of all the cars I have owned this one is by far my favorite. I now hope to always own a Vette. I am looking forward to the C7.

Default Warm Welcome & Congrats

Q
Is TX as big a state as KY?
Reason I asked is TX has almost as many new members joining up as KY.

(I once bought a VY with 2500 on the clock. It too was pre-owned)

Intro of C7 will happen 1-13-13 as U know. But the first won't roll out the plant till June 30, 60 yrs to the day of 1st 1953 model.

I don't know if Texas is as big as KY or not for ownership. I'm just entering the Corvette world and trying to learn all I can.
What year was your VY? And what Vette do you have now? I do plan to purchase a C7 and keep my C6. I really really like the car.

Hello MikalMuh:

Welcome to the Corvette Forum and congratulations on your purchase. I look forward to your garage pics. and, I agree, that 2009 was a particularly good year.

You've made Texas a little smaller with that (LS3?) under the hood!
