Usual greetings from the new guy . Filling in a bucket list item by buying my first Corvette in my retirement . The kicker being I'm a hard-core Mopar guy , having been one my whole life . So if you guys want to be haters then have at it . BTW , I've already been called a Masshole so save that one for a rainy day... It's all in good fun...

Welcome to the Forum! Congratulations on your first Corvette.
I, too, have driven Mopars in the past including Max Wedges, as well as many other manufacturers. Most of the members were good to forgive me. Think the common ground here is an appreciation of the Corvette.
Supposed to start raining hard here on Monday from Irma so I'll save any Mass jokes until at least that rainy day (or even a later rainy day).

Sorry...duh...I was waiting for some grief because of the Mopar comment , my brother-in-law ( Chevy guy ) and I have been going back and forth since 1966 . Anyways , I picked up a 1978 Pace Car after trading in my Harley and a few bucks . Looking forward to ' digging ' into it with a few tasteful upgrades ( not many though ) . Will post pics when I take them but you guys KNOW what they look like...
