Default Hello from Oklahoma

Thanks for having me. My name is David, I live in Oklahoma City, Ok part-time and Lawton, OK the other part. I'm a restaurateur and currently serve some of the best Mexican food you will ever eat. No shameless plug here, but if you're ever in the Oklahoma area, message me and I'll tell you all about it. Food and cars are my passion. I recently purchased my 53rd new vehicle in my life, and my 4th Corvette, a 2017 Stingray. It was still sitting new on the dealers lot when I was shopping for a car for my daughter. I fell in love with the color combination, acted as if I was barely interested, and made them a ridiculously low offer which they accepted. So now I'm back in a vet and it feel great. My other vets were all C-5's, 2001 White Coupe, 2002 Black Convertible, and a 2003 Electron Blue Z06. John Lingenfelter turned me on to corvettes when I owned a restaurant in Dallas, and my Z06 had several mods by his son-in law at their shop in Carrollton, TX. I'm excited to be around a bunch of corvette enthusiasts again. Looking forward to digging in and checking out all your rides.

Hello. Congrats on the car. I love the black Z06 look. I'm sure I'll see around town sometime, we know Lawton is not that big :-)
