Default First Vette In Phoenix

Hey Everybody

Just bought my first Corvette. A 2005 Victory Red manual transmission coupe with 30,000 miles and I'm hooked. Its all stock and for now it will stay that way until I get bored. I will never be selling this car and hope to pass it on to my sons.

This is my first time joining a forum. Ive been a silent observer for years but felt like this could be a good community to be a part of.

Im a radiologist in training and feel like I have been in school for a decade...o wait...I have... So I decided to make the remaining years of training more tolerable by doing something I've always wanted to do. Plus, I have seen a lot of patients who died way too young, probably thinking that someday they will do this or that. Life is too short.

Looking to learn more about my C6 and maybe hang out with some likeminded folks in AZ.

What a beauty and way to reward yourself! I did that last summer after a series of 26 visits to one of your brothers. Kinda had an involuntary twitch every time i walked past a microwave for a while. My Corvette has been great therapy and sometimes i stop and admire it when I’m in the garage. Welcome to the Forum and enjoy the Corvette lifestyle. There appear to be lots of members who are from the Phoenix area and there have been some pretty cool pictures posted of some Corvette gatherings. Congratulations on your accomplishments and your dedication to those in need.
