Default Hello from Plano

I finally bought my first Vette. I have wanted one since my neighbor brought home a 1970's T-top C3. They would pick us up from school and somehow squeeze four elementary school kids into it. Fell in love with Corvettes then and vowed to own one someday. I have been lurking on the forum as a visitor for months now and this place is so helpful that I thought what the heck I will register and add what I can. Thanks for keeping this site running!

Every time I get in the car and pull out of my drive way I have a huge smile on my face. I can't believe how tight the car drives and the power it has is simply amazing.

I am having trouble adjusting to the kids who pull up to me and want to race though. I finally gave in last week .... I won

Odd. A lot of people have a "My Garage" section underneath their name in the box next to their post and mine doesn't. Anyway if you go to my profile and hit the garage tab, they are in there.
