Hello all,
New member checking in from New York, over in Dutchess County. Not an Owner yet, here doing the research. I'd like to get into a C5 by next year.
Been a Corvette lover since I was a kid like a lot of us I'm sure.
Currently thinking I'd like a later year (2002-04) convertible under 50k.
This would be my first car I buy since owning a home and having a garage to work in. I'd like to see what I can do on my own with a hobby car for the first time. I'd also like to find some local shops to get work done eventually, hoping to find some leads here.
Looking forward to poking around and picking up some knowledge.
