First Time Owner
Hello to all, I'm late getting in the game at age 64 but like a lot of people, the dream of owning a Corvette never died; since around age 17 when a friend let me drive his '64 convertible. Life will change your plans, but now I'm retired and faced the decision, new pickup truck or what I've really always wanted. You guessed it, my new ride a 2011 C6 base model w/auto trans,44k miles.I look to glean knowledge from you experienced owners and members and apply that to my experience. I'm not to interested in big mods to my car , but maybe some upgrades as I learn more. Highway driving here in Texas is mainly on my agenda. On a side note, are there any blues harmonica players on here?
