1st Time Corvette Owner
Hello from Nashville. My name is Mark and this is my first Corvette. I am liking this car even more than I expected. I bought a white 2012 C6 base model on the 19th. I just retired and have always wanted a Corvette so I gave this to myself to celebrate my retirement. I look forward to learning all I can about my car from all the experienced owners. I have 2 Harleys and feel the Corvette "brotherhood" is very similar to the men and women who own own Corvettes. It appears to be a tight knit group of people who are extremely passionate about their American made muscle cars. I am blessed to be able to call myself a member of this group although as my father used to say, "any organization who would accept me as a member, I wouldn't have anything to do with!" LOL..now on to the forum to begin my education about our iconic automobile.
