Default Hello from future 'Vette owner!

Hi,

I'm Matt, and I've lurked around here and LS1Tech.com for about 9 years, off and on, with more and more lurking here since the premiere of the C7.

I'm 30 and live in Montana, USA. I am saving up and planning to buy a C7 Z51 with most of the niceties in the MY2016 timeframe. This will be my first corvette. My daily drivers are an 05 lifted Colorado, and a '11 Traverse.

I am a huge car fan in general, and LOVE 'vettes. I dig the history, the tech, the evolution, the image, and the american iconicism. I kniw my way around a wrench and a drafting table alike, drill press to EDA software, and love to tinker with mechanical and electrical/electronic systems.

I look forward to taking a little more of an active role and not just reading all the time. Nice to meet everyone.

- Matt

I am from Eastern WA and waiting for my new C7. The last I heard from the dealer it should be here in 2 to 4 weeks. Is that wishful thinking?
