Default Getting back into the Corvette

Hi all, AB here. After a thirty year hiatus from the Corvette, I have found myself obsessing over the found memories of my youth and times with my past Corvettes. I finally decided to take the first step into ownership by joining the forum after years of lurking. I am fascinated with the C7 Z06 and I am getting serious about trying to find the right one for me. Wish list includes 7-speed manual, Z07, LZ3, black on black coupe. I look forward to learning from the wisdom and community you have to offer!

It's official, I am a Corvette owner once again. I found the perfect car with everything I was looking for, a flawless 1K mile C7 Z06 Z07, 3LZ w/competition seats, 7-speed manual, black on black. Dreams can come true! It's an honor to be a part of this esteemed community and I look forward to learning from you all.
