Hi everyone,
New member here from Central Florida. Put a deposit down on a C8 during Thanksgiving (at Stingray Chevrolet) after a substantial amount of research here on the forums. I'm currently 600+ in line so it will be a while but figured I would go ahead and join Y'all. I'm coming over from the dark side aka former mustang owner. Previous cars include a 1991 300zx Twin turbo (first car as a 16 year old) , 2003 mustang GT and 2013 Mustang GT but have all been sold. Most recent was sold due to having kids (have a 4 and a 2 year old) but now the wife says go buy what I want after buying her the SUV she wanted. I currently have have a ford edge now as a daily driver so i don't have to put the kids in the frunk
. I have always been and avid modifier of cars but this one will be left stock (famous last words). Lastly, I'm originally from Georgia, so fellow Floridians will probably hate me saying this but "GO DAWGS".
Looking forward to many discussion with everyone.
