First time Corvette owner….soon
Hello
My name is Damir, from former Yugoslavia. Been here since 1997 and love this country. As a matter of fact I became a citizen under Trump. Very proud. I have been a car enthusiast for a long time. Never owned a Corvette. Since I turned 40 earlier, I guess you can say mid life crisis hit soon, but I have been yearning a new Vette in the used market. I have a budget of $25-$37k for a used one. Not sure where to start with so much knowledge out there, which is why I joined the forum. Hopefully I learn a lot and maybe find a Vette here. One thing that’s great is that my wife is onboard with this and she said she can’t wait to take trips to North and Tennessee Georgia mountains in it. We were married in Pigeon Forge, and I loved taking my GTI there.
Please bear with me as a noob. I am excited.

Welcome Damir
I would suggest you sit in and drive any models you are interested in so you can tell which one is best for you. Don’t want you to buy one and later say, “I don’t like this”.
