Default another newbie

After reading about half of the posts on here I decided to join. I have had my first Corvette for about two months , only driven twice . The weather here in Indiana sucks .
I sold my Streetrod and Picked up a 98 Torch Red Coupe . I always figured if I got a Vette it would be a 60's model . This deal came along and couldn't say no .
I have to say I like the C5 style a lot better than earlier years .
The wife and I have planned a vacation to Tennessee the end of April and looking forward to driving the Vette .
