Hello from Garland, Texas
I'm now the proud owner of a 2012 Carlisle Blue 1Lt Corvette. The car is a 6 speed manual, has Ebony interior, and 12,000 miles. It has been 37 years since I owned a Corvette. The Corvette Forum appears to have a "pictures or it did not happen" policy, so I included two photos of my 2012 and photos of my first two Corvettes. I suspect most members of the forum follow Corvette Racing, so I also included 3 photos I made at COTA in 2013 and 2014.

Hello,
Thanks for the "Hello's" and "Welcome's". I've owned the car for four weeks and still smile every time I see it parked in the garage. I won't be shooting any races at COTA this year, but have motel reservations for the WEC and F1 races. I suspect a lot of people on the forum will attend the IMSA/WEC race at COTA this year. Is there a Corvette Coral at these events?

I sold my 73 back in 1987 to buy my wife a new mini van and always said once I got the kids through college and out of the house I would get another vette and spent 3 years looking for mine and bought it in 2015 and love it.
