Default Hi from Beaumont, TX

Just picked up a 2006 Atomic Orange convertible. Been around corvettes my whole life, my Dad had over a dozen of them in nearly all versions. I had a 1973 that I lost in a divorce...so finally glad to be blessed with this fantastic car! Looking forward to reading and contributing on the forum.

Also...I'm addicted to Italin motorcycles, so my hobbies are going to keep me working for a long time.

Cheers brothers.

Welcome and congratulations on your new Corvette.

Hope you have great success with it, be careful with the bike, those things can get you into trouble.

Don't I know it. But I guess if I was trying to play it safe, I'd have bought a Mustang.

Still one of the best looking engine designs! The Momt Guzzi V7 II is still one of my favorites. Beautiful!

I recently sold my 2012 Ducati Diavel. Fantastic bike but just wasn't riding it. It was my first Italian bike after 20 years of Japanese Crotch Rockets. The Ducati was definitely my favorite bike I ever owned. Enjoy your hobbies!!!
