Lurker No More!
Greetings and Salutations. Ever heard "Long time listener, first time caller" on talk radio? That's how I'd sum up my experience to date on the Corvette Forum. I have bounced around on the forum over the years and finally signed up, officially.
I reside in Carmel Valley California, about 8 miles from Laguna Seca. I have been a Corvette fan since day one and finally in a position to purchase my forever C2 (or at least I think I'm in that position!
). My primary reason for joining is to better educate myself on C2's and what to look for and what to stay away from. This forum has a HUGE knowledge base of experienced individuals and resources... and I hope to continue my education on numbers, birdcages, and bonding strips!
My current personal collection consists of a 1969 Camaro, 1972 K5 Blazer, a hot rod, and a couple other vehicles. Just missing that forever Corvette!
Thank you in advance to all the folks and vendors that make this forum possible.
Cheers,
Roscoe
