New Corvette owner
Hi there
My name's Darrell and I am the proud owner of my very first Corvette, a 2001 Convertible.
I have always loved Corvettes but was never in a position to be able to afford them.
Looking forward to the whole Corvette experience!

Welcome and congrats on your new ride! I was up in Nova Scotia a few years ago and had a great time. You have some great roads to cruise up there. 😁
