New guy from Texas
Hi everyone and thanks for having me. I am 57 and have wanted a Corvette since I was 7.
Never could afford one. Well I'm not getting any younger or richer, so I stepped out on a limb last week and pulled the trigger. No regrets, love it.

Welcome! It is a small world... I'm also relatively new to the forum and live in the Pflugerville area as well... I'll wave if I see you... My Corvette is a Frost Beige 1980.

Small world indeed.
I'll be looking for the 80.
I'm in Gatlinburg subdivision along with a neighbor who has a black 69.
Thanks for the welcome guys.
Will post pics when I figure out how.

I had to google it to find where that subdivision is. I'm not far from there, on the other side of Dessau between Olympic and Wells Branch North-South and between Heatherwilde and 10th East-West. Someone not to far from here has a gray C1, looks like either a '59 or a '60, but I rarely see it enough to tell for sure. Its a slight restomod with a bit of a rumble to it when it rolls by. Mine is mostly stock/original and a work in progress as I still need to do a lot of little things and some major freshening of the the interior.

I drove around your neighborhood a little today in my 1980... Noticed a couple other Vettes including a white 1980 on Greenway Drive that looks like it needs some help and a red C4, not sure what year, but probably around 1985-1987.

The red C4 hasn't moved for the 15 years I've been here.
A co-worker has a black C4 about 1/8th mile behind P-ville fire dept.
I visited neighbor with black C2 this afternoon.
