Default Hello everyone. Looking forward to Spring here in Upstate NY!

Hello all,

My name is Greg and when I turned 50 I purchased my first Vette, a 2014 Night Race Blue Metallic, black top convertible. Looking forward to forum and all the knowledge it has to offer.

Thank you.

Hello everyone...Im going to be back in a Corvette when my new C8 convertible gets here. My order was accepted and should get it in about a month or two. My first Corvette was a new 1988 I was 24 years old, 2nd Corvette was a new white convertible 1991 I was 27 years old about 30 years ago and now at 57 a 2021 ceramic matrix grey (kinda white) I can not wait. Im going from a New Shelby super snake to this car, and I can not wait, having driven both...this is a no-brainer! A shout out to all here and in the DFW area.

Welcome to the Forum, Don, and congratulations on your pending C8!
It is really better to have your own post rather than introducing yourself in someone else's posting - many will go to Quick Reply to welcome the new member and not even see your "hello" and be able to welcome you, too!
