Default New member intro

Greetings fellow Corvette enthusiasts: I purchased a 1995 black/red Corvette convertible with a mere 24k miles a couple of weeks ago. I live in central Illinois about half the year and south-central Colorado (at an altitude increasingly devoid of sufficient oxygen for my needs) the rest of the year. My Corvette was and will remain a true “geezer-mobile” now that I can reasonably afford to drive, properly maintain, and insure it.

As a young boy, I saw my first Corvette pass through town in the very early 60’s and promised myself I would own one before I died. Perhaps like others on this forum, I can finally check that item off my bucket list. I sincerely look forward to learning from you and enjoy your posts. Best wishes to all!
