Default Newbie from the midwest

Hello guys! Newbie from Nebraska here, soon to be first time Corvette owner...my boss (wife) just gave me the green light. The forum has been a great resource thus far, and perhaps I'll find my dream car on here as well!

Welcome and best of luck with the hunt. Take your time, be picky, and don't be afraid to walk away. Do your homework first, then go look at a bunch of (C5's?) and then buy.


Post pictures of your finds. The guys over in the C5 section can further help you out. I am a former C5 owner, but the guys over there are going to be your best resource.
