New From Texas, 1st Corvette
Hello,
Well after a 10 week wait the car showed up this past Friday. I’ve been a car guy for a long time but finally got my Vette.
2019 Z06, Manual, Coupe, Long Beach Red, 2LZ
49 years old, father of 4, married 26 years.
Looking forward to this forum, I can’t leave any of my vehicles alone.

This is what I called my 1st Vette before this week, 1966 Chevy C10, LS3, Magnason Supercharger, 590hp to the rear wheels, T56 Magnum 6 speed.
I learned to drive in this truck, my Dad purchased it new in 1966.

That is one hell of a first Vette. I thought about selling some of my cars and just going with one like yours. Congrats on the long time marriage as there aren't a lot of us around. I'm 52 and will hit 33 next month.

Thanks again, as we all know being married this long doesn’t come easy. Takes a major effort from both parties.
Rolled over 500 miles today, changed the oil, time for some fun!!
