Default New to Corvette
I recently retired and for the last two years have been looking for a Corvette. The years I test drove went from 1984 to 2004. Last Saturday was my 63 birthday and I bought a 2001 Z06 with 37,000 miles. It has been garage kept and seems in great shape. First time Vette owner.
