Default Hello from Wisconsin.

I am a car enthusiast and will always be one. I am new to the vette family. Just purchase a c7 base stingray. My pass rides has been in the import senes mostly Honda/Acura and Toyota/Lexus. During my teens my teen years, vettes were out of my price range because they cost 3 time the cost of a civic, rsx, prelude, and etc.

Now in my 40s, i can actually afford one. Will be depending on covettefourm when i run into problems on my vette, since its a use 15 with 14k miles.
