Hello from Austin, TX

After looking for quite some time, I purchased a C2 (1963) last weekend, and picked her up today. I smiled all the way home, and have had so much fun driving around all day. I knew this would be the year I pulled the trigger because it’s the year of my 60th birthday. So Happy Birthday to me!

I am a first time Corvette owner, so I apologize in advance for all of my future crazy questions. I’ve enjoyed clicking through this forum and have learned so much. Thank you to everyone that posts their experiences (positive and negative) and those that share advice.

I look forward to learning so much from the members here.
