First Time Corvette Owner
Yesterday I checked off a long time bucket list item when we picked up our new 2016 LT3 Convertible. It's our first and 24 hours later still doesn't seem real. Glad to be on here officially, in the past several months I have learned a lot from the site that has helped with the buying process. I am a 21 year Navy Vet originally from southern Indiana and currently living on the Gulf Coast in Daphne, AL near Mobile. Thanks for having me.
Enjoy while you can.
