Default Hello Corvette Owners

Hello All,
Dream came true last Saturday, 10/26, purchased my first Corvette, a 2016 Stingray LT1, 7spd. Black. I live in the Northeast Pa. area with my wife of 33 years who made this purchase happen for me and couldn't be more grateful. Looking forward being a member of this great community.
Steve

C7s are the best made to date! Congratulations! Is it a hatchback, or, a convertible? Photos?
