Default Finally made it here!



Hi guys! (from Tampa, Florida)
I finally made it to the Corvette family! I've loved Corvette's since being a young boy and I always knew this was where I wanted to land. I've taken care of other responsibilities in life, but 2 months ago the green light arrived! So I bought an Arctic White, 2014, C7, manual, with Z-51 package and 3LT Adrenaline Red interior, with NPP. I was blown away on the test drive and I even managed to take the Targa top off at the dealership. The drive is amazing and so rewarding. I'm loving every mile in this C7 and it completely satisfies any car frustrations I've had. The Corvette brotherhood seems strong on the road.
This forum is a wealth of info and I plan to add in a positive way.

I'm no stranger to performance cars nor is my family:
2014 Camaro SS, with RS package, LS3 manual
2007 BMW 335i, sport pkg, (N54 twin turbo), manual
1995 Firebird Formula, LT1, manual
2001 WS6 Trans Am, (my brother's), LS1 manual
1989 Firebird V8, (my father's), manual
1969 Camaro SS (my father's), manual

So I guess that makes us GM performance car loyalists.
"Cheers" and I'm glad to be here and stoked to be in the driver's seat of a Corvette!
