Default New from Ky

Not only am I new here but I'm new to the Corvette world. On New Years Eve 2013 I purchased my first Corvette. It's a 2011 Grand Sport 12,700 miles. It is a 3LT car with automatic trans and the color is Supersonic Blue. So far I couldn't be happier as I've always wanted a C6 but never had the nerve to bite the bullet and buy one. I look forward to learning about the car and taking advantage of all the good information that can be found here...

So far it's been great. The only down side has been this bad weather here in Eastern Ky. I've only driven it from Louisville where I bought it to home. I really never thought I would own one and I find myself going out to the garage just to look at it. LOL I've had several F Bodies throughout the years but they really don't compare to this car. I now wish I had done this much sooner.

Great to hear!

Warmer and better weather will come before you know it.
