Default hello from az

hello,
I've been a member of the Arizona corvette enthusiast group for about five years. I just bought my first corvette two months ago, however I've been a corvette specialist at the dealership level since I've been on flat rate now for about 7years and trained under the previous vett specialist who willingly and gladly passed them off to me. ill give any advise or specs where I can but honestly I've received way more information on these forums than given out.

Welcome to the forum.

We look forward to having you share your expertise with other forum members. I suspect that we can probably help you maintain your Vette.

If the dealership where you are a Corvette specialist is not a supporting forum vendor, please avoid posting ads for that dealership.

Welcome to the Forum. We have friends in Tucson that we visit. Lots of Corvettes around and met a group in Tubac on year. Great to have your expertise on the site.

thanks all for the warm reception. my story is painful but has a happy ending. I used to drive a motorcycle everywhere (Suzuki rf900) until I got rear ended at a stoplight by a jeep in oct 1st (ironically my birthday), the driver was texting and driving at 45mph. after the t11 and t12 vertebrae fractures and shattered left wrist riding on two wheels was off the table, but seeing how I love working on corvettes my wife suggested that I get a vette to replace the bike. a customer traded in a mostly stock velocity yellow 2006 corvette with black rims and black metallic rear end, I did the 801 used car inspection the next day and drove it home that night. id like to start upgrading it right away, but my wife suggested(aka told me) that I wait till October.
