New guy here from Florida
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ray, and I do not have a Corvette yet. I am in the process of negotiations to get my first Vette. I have always been interested in cars, and have had quite a few memorable ones. I currently have a 1989 Mustang LX Notchback, and a 1970 'Cuda 340, but I always wanted a Vette. Hopefully I will be able to report back real soon that I am now a proud Vette owner. Thank you.

I have already located the car I am getting. It is a car that a business associate of mine owns. I have been trying to buy this car from him for 10 years, and he finally called me to say he is ready to sell. I get it at the end of next week.
