Default Introduction

Hello all, I have been on and off this site for many years. I originally purchased 1997 Coupe Silver and owned it for eight years. Next I sold it and purchased a 2007 Monterey Red Coupe which was another great vehicle. That was taken from me in a storm after owning it for six and a half years only having 33000 miles on it. Thankfully it was insured by a reputable company and I received good money for it. In the next six days I already purchased another just waiting for the insurance check. This time I wanted a convertible and wound up purchasing a 2010 Torch Red 3LT Convertible with 57000 miles on it ! ! ! By far the best and most economical sports care I ever owned, between my prior two cars all I ever did was change the oil and replace the batteries in both ! ! ! !

Looking forward to being back,
Anthony

Please whatever anyone on this site does, DO NOT order from CORVETTE MODS in Texas. I ordered a set of mats for my vehicle late on a Saturday night. I realized it was for the wrong year when I woke up. At 2am the order was electronically processed and I went to their site to cancel the order at 6:30 the same morning four and a half hours later. I contacted them on Monday to confirm the cancellation and got nothing but the run around from Kirsten and Selena, customer service reps. I further e-mailed Lloyds Mats and they said Corvette Mods had to cancel, when Corvette Mods try saying it was Lloyds mats' decision. LIARS LIARS ! ! ! ! I recently had to dispute the charges with my credit card company (Corvette Mods) wont even speak to me about this.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERY CORVETTE OWNER ! ! ! ! !

Anthony
