Default Another new guy and Vette
I've been enjoying this Forum for a while now without owning a Vette. Closed that deal yesterday. Got a 2017 Grand Sport, torch red, lots of carbon fiber/ground effects. 10,600 miles/one owner. Unbelievably, the original owner ordered a new 2019 GS with EXACTLY the sames specs throughout. I am the beneficiary of his good taste. I hope to meet him locally one day. Mine is up front in this picture. Can't seem to figure out why two pics are posted. Hmmm?

Again, thanks to all of you.

Remember, this is my first Corvette. Last night I visited our daughter and her husband. Within two minutes of parking the car, two neighbors were out of their houses and walking around the car. It certainly attracts attention. At age 70, I need the attention!!
