Default First Corvette Owners :)
Hi there! We purchased our first Corvette about a month ago. A bright yellow 2003 C5 convertible. It's our first Corvette and a bucket list check-off. We had a 2009 370Z several years ago. It was fun but it didn't have the awesome sound of a V-8, that's for sure. We've also owned several different sport bikes of various brands over the years as well. Time to kick back with the top down and have fun. Looking forward to learning more about our Vette as well as finding reviews of different aftermarket products on here.
