Multibrand dude
Hi, new Vette owner here in Wisconsin. Since I have family in the Holy Land (Bowling Green, KY), decided I need to own at least one Corvette in my life. It's a gently used 2000 convertible 6-speed. Only 2 mods: Exhaust and cold-air intake.
Have mainly been a Ford guy over the years, with occasional lapses into Mopars and one Mazda RX7, but the Vette has been a fun addition! And yes, I have toured both the factory and the Corvette museum multiple times!
