Howdy y'all!
This is my first Corvette. It's a base '89 black on black automatic that I picked up a couple of months ago for cheap from a friend. It's my daily driver and there's nothing special about it... yet. So far I've done a tune up, replaced the battery, repaired a headlight motor, and replaced the heater core. I'm in the research phase of what I want to add to it. It's so much fun to drive that now I want a new one so I'm considering a '16 or '17 Stingray in grey. I've always been a Chevelle guy but now I'm hooked... but I'm keeping my Chevelles too!
