Default Hello from Central Texas
Hello everyone, name is Chris. Will be picking up my first Corvette…a new to me 2019 Stingray. Hope to learn a lot from the group. I’ll post some pics once I take delivery.

Welcome and congrats on the purchase of your C7.

Just curious about your user name - are you from Guam? I lived there for two years (1963-1965) and then did a two week reserve training at COMNAVMARIANAS in 2000.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I'm coming from a Hellcat and I gotta say the C7 has been a blast so far. Different kind of animal. I love it!
