Default Hello from Florida

When I retired to Florida I struck up a great friendship with a neighbor. He's a Corvette guy going back to 1967. To make a long story short, he convinced me to buy a 'Vette and join the Touch of Class Corvette Club. Well, I did both and couldn't be happier. Bought a '98 Coupe in Torch Red from a Club Member. It had 30K miles on it (I've put 2K on it since I bought it). The first owner dressed it up quite a bit. Looking forward to many years of good times with the car and the Club. And I hope to put the forum to good use as well.

Thank you! The original owner pampered the car to no end. I'll do my best to keep it the way he did. But I'll definitely drive it more. I re-did the sound system he had put in to include Bluetooth and USB. Slowly but surely I'll personalize it. Thanks again for the welcome.

Thank you. We lived in San Jose for two years back in the mid 70's. Would have been nice to have a 'Vette back then. I remember some beautiful days and evenings, especially along the coast.
