Default First Corvette

Hello, My 2015 Coupe is being delivered tomorrow. I was looking for a old school Hot Rod to drive in my semi retirement and after driving a friends C-6 a couple of months ago I discovered I could have my Hot Rod and luxury in one ride. So here I am, and look forward to sharing my enthusiasum and hopefully getting some much needed advice here on the forum.

Was fortunate enough to find a set of Clay wheels with new Michelin winter tires yesterday on Craigs list so am ready to go.

Your story sound exactly like mine, was looking to get a fully restored 1969 Mercury Cougar, either a convertible or Eliminator package, when the wife convinced me that a newer vehicle would be more practical for what we planned to do with it. Just bought a 2012 Grand Sport w/9200 miles from your neck of the woods, Jet Chev. in Federal Way. Did you get your 2015 from them by chance?

I purchased from Taylor and Sons in Standpoint, ID. They gave me a great deal, dropped the price and Greg Taylor the owner is bringing me the car (a 7 hour drive with trailer) at no additional cost. I shopped around for 2 months and couldn't be happier with the deal.

Very nice! I am sure you will love your new 'vette! I am new here also, but check out the Pac North West Forum on the site, they list and organize cruises, shows, etc. Hope to run into you when the weather turns better!
