Default First ever Corvette. Hi!

Hello everyone! I just bought my first Corvette: my 2014 Corvette Stingray base model. After years of wanting a Corvette, I finally decided to go for it. It’s pre-owned with low mileage (28K).

I’m looking forward to learning how to treat my baby right and maybe get a few mods as well. See you guys on the forums!
