Hi All,

I'm in the market to buy my first Corvette this spring, and I figured this forum would probably be a good place to start learning everything I can before I start shopping around. In the past I've had a couple of Chevrolets, including a third gen Camaro, but now I have a 1974 Ford Maverick as a project car. The project car will probably get sold once I find my Corvette, but it served its purpose in that it gave me a lot of opportunities to learn more about working on cars.

After I do some more research, you may see me posting on one of the for sale forums. Right now I'm thinking C6, but that could definitely change.

Look forward to chatting with y'all.
