Default Marine on Deck!

Good day all, my name is D and I'm a retired Gunnery Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I'm currently looking to get into my first Corvette next spring/summer. Was initially going with a Grand Sport, however after careful consideration I have decided to buy a Zo6.


I'm not new to the car scene as I've owned a couple Terminators..hence the name, as well as an 02 Camaro. I'm not brand loyal and can appreciate all American Muscle and sport cars. I hope by this time next year to be sharing many pictures of my new baby. Semper Fi.

I vote for Z06. I absolutely love my Z06, tracked it twice and I am addicted. 2016 models are heavily discounted, as much as 23% off sticker.
