Default Introduction post

Hey y'all,
Just wanted to introduce myself. This is my first post so if I am making any mistakes pls let me know. I am a senior in high school and I do not currently own a Corvette (yet!!) but my grandfather has a yellow c6 MT coupe and he lets me drive it quite frequently. He taught me how to drive a manual trans with that car and it has been a very fun and educational experience, learning how to control a car with that much power. I am going to study automotive technology in college and I hope to rebuild a wrecked C6 at some point in the next few years. This forum has been very helpful for all my questions and my grandfathers questions about the C6 and 'vettes in general.
See y'all around,
Alan

Welcome to the Forum, Alan!
Great that your grandfather has already introduced you to the world of Corvettes!
Best wishes with your plan to restore a wrecked C6 in the next few years; an excellent way to learn all the ins and outs of the car.
