Default First corvette
Hello everyone, my name is Jorge and I just got a 21' Artic white 2LT Z51 after looking for a few years. I just retired from the Air Force after 20 years and I'm looking forward to enjoy this awesome machine. I am planning on doing some basic "starter mods" I hate when people don't research and immediately ask the forums... SO if I ever ask a question...trust me, i've already searched the threads, googled, YouTube, etc... I'm very excited to be part of this community. see you guys !

Thank you for your Service, so many of us when we retire from Military buy Corvette and start living the dream we missed.

Welcome and enjoy your new ride!

Always Aim High.

Jorge, thank you for your service in keeping us all safe! Generations of my family before me were in the service, so I am familiar with the sacrifices men like you have made. That is one bad ride you have, my friend...
