Default Hello from Houston

Noob here and just wanted to say hello and happy to be here. should have joined a long time ago. The thing is though...im not actually a Corvette owner, close as i have a 2010 CTS-V but... I hope to own a C6 ZO6 or ZR1 in the not to distant future and have been eying them for years now just not had the funds or the desire to let my V go to get a Vette.

anyways hello and happy to be a member-ish LOL

There are plenty of members who do not currently have a Vette so don't worry about that. Best of luck in your quest for just the right car and welcome to the forum.

Welcome. I'm in North Texas looking for my first vette. I always see a lot of corvettes posted in your area. So you should have no problem finding a good one once you decide to make the switch.

Not really. I just look around on the basic car for sale apps. I seem to like cargurus pretty good and just found autotempest which seems to be good also.
