Default Colorado and Corvettes
Hello all - Just joined today and am excited to be a part of this community. I've spent the last six months watching YouTube videos and obsessively clicking on every C3 on Bring a Trailer. I've always dreamed of owning a late-model C3 (hey, I like rubber bumpers!) and having just retired and moved to the mountains of Colorado (Salida), I'm ready to make that dream come true. I've worked on motorcycles for years, and spent the last few years in the Porsche world (930 Turbo and 997 Turbo), but have always wanted to spend some quality time with an American V8. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
