Default Hello from Austin, TX
Hello everyone,

New member here from Austin, TX. I've been a lifelong fan of corvettes and this past February I pulled the trigger on a brand new black 2019 Z51 2LT (discounted significantly as the dealership was craving to clear the lot for the C8s). It worked perfectly as the C7 has been on my radar since inception, especially the newer models. I've been lurking the forums for some time, but figured I'd register and join the fray.

Welcome from right up the road in Waco. I bought a 12,300 mile ELBM two months ago. I'll probably see you around in the Austin or Killeen area. I think I need window tint!

That's a great find! Which Chev. dealer? I shopped all 3. Auto Nation on Hwy 183 consistently had the greatest inventory. Ended up buying my 2017 from Mac Haik Chev. in Houston.
