Another Damn Newbie!!!
Hey Guys,
I've been watching the forums for a while now and recently signed up to become a member. I have been educating myself on Vettes for a while and continually stop by here for information, so big thanks to all the active and knowledgeable members, it's truly appreciated!!
I'm not a Vette owner at this point but I'm pretty certain its on the list and I'm working towards that. Between the RZR, the Harley and the sleds I stay busy but as things change in your life, I've been realizing the "fun car" is something else I want to do.........before it gets too late!! LOL
I've actually been looking at Camaro's (ZL1's) Vette's (Grand Sports) and Mustangs (GT500's) and I keep wandering back to the Vette world.
Anyways, again......"thanks to all the members" this forum is awesome and I look forward to gaining more knowledge, insight and acquaintances as the time passes.

There are a lot of very cool cars out there, but none with the history of the Vette. Good luck with your ultimate decision on what to buy. And welcome to the forum.

New Guy trying to find out how to properly post
Brand new to the Corvette world. Have wanted one since I was 13 years old. Recently bought a 2016 1LT Stingray convertible. local one owner, 17,000 miles. Absolutely loving this car. I want to upgrade my membership but don't know how. Not even sure how to properly post. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Also, I have a thousand questions to ask, so the sooner I know how, the better. Glad to have found this forum

Hi FatDogX, I know what you mean, I've was looking at Mustangs, I didn't think I'd fit in Vette, my last one was a '92 Coupe. My neighbor came home in a 2013 a couple of weeks ago. I asked if I could sit in it and that was all it took. He got in the passenger side and asked if I wanted to drive it. 
2 weeks later I have a 2012 in the garage. Don't wait too long, I almost did and am recovering from Cancer.

For membership upgrade, look for User CP in the red line above this page (just above Intros).
Click on User CP
Scroll down to Miscellaneous
Below Miscellaneous you will see Paid Subscriptions
Click on Paid Subscriptions and you will see your options.
For starting a new thread, go to the area where you want to post your thread. Having a 2016 Corvette you will most likely have threads (postings) in the C7 section; https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...2014-2019-141/. Go to the particular area that closest relates to your thread; for instance you may have a technical question. In that case, you would go to C7 Tech/Performance.
You will see a gold box on the left toward the top that says New Thread. Click on that and you will get a new screen.
Where it says Title, type in a subject that relates to your post; then go to Message and type your question/comment.
Hope this helps you get started!
