Welcome to the forum, post some pics of your new vette, or discribe it for us so we can drool over it.

Welcome

Nothing like a first Vette.

Remember two things:
1. When you pull into a parking spot with a concrete curb at the far end to always stop sooner than you think.
2. It just keeps getting better.

Thanks DonOH

It is funny you said that, that was on mind at all times being such a fuss budget.
I have to admit, I have been getting warm welcomes.
I think that I am going to enjoy this family.

This is what I call the red carpet treatment which I have been receiving from a lot of distinguished members.

I am impressed. I know I found the right family.

Thank you, and yeah I know. I have a buddy I grew up with who lives in Boston.


Texas highways are a lot of fun until the state troopers get you. Been there and done that way too many times.

How can you have a Corvette & not go fast? Ha Ha.
Still breaking mine in with only 380 miles. Can't wait to open this baby up.
