Default New Member and first time Corvette owner (C8)

Greetings,

As noted in the title of my post, I am a new member and proud owner of a 2022 Corvette Stingray. My passion for the Corvette nameplate and life's goal to obtain a Corvette began when I received a 1997 Corvette C5 discast 1/24 scale as a child. Life made me wait but it was definitely worth the wait! I purchased the car in November and since then, I quickly learned that buying car parts (on order and not yet installed nor illustrated in this photo) is a fun but addicting experience lol.

This is my first post and I am thankful to be a member of a community that assists and supports one another.

Location: California.

Best color choice IMHO. Although red is a reminder to all that it could pass as an extremely bargain basement Ferrari with at least equal performance. Welcome from a new member of the forum.
