Default Howdy!

1st time Corvette owner, always wanted one but never got the chance. Up till now always needed a back seat. I had an M3 till a kid ran a light and T-boned me a couple months back. Found this 09 with 9k on the odometer and absolutely love it! All it needed was fresh batteries, one for the car and 1 each for the key fobs. After driving beamers (335i and M3) for a few years I gotta say the Vette's big V8 instant torque is a heck of a lot of fun! This car rides better then the M. Haven't had a chance to learn and push it's limits yet but it is enticing
Looking forward to learning all I can about this amazing vehicle.

Cheers!

Really enjoying the car! Not much opportunity to drive it, I'm in a western Chicago suburb and want to avoid exposure to the salt and potholes so only had it out a couple of times. Hopefully the roads will be clean and fixed before too long.

There is so much to learn. This is going to be quite and adventure!

Cheers!
