I've owned a lot of performance cars, but never a Vette. It's on my bucket list, so I'll lurk around here and learn what I can, before I buy.

Well shucks, since I posted here originally in 2013, there have been some Corvettes in my garage. In August of 2016 I bought a 2008 3LT Z51 Coupe. More recently, as in last Monday the 12th of March, I traded the '08 in on a 2017 1LT Coupe. Life is good!


Nothing bu fun ahead here!<br/>
