Newb from Texas

Hello everyone, newbie from Texas.

I've been reading and learning a ton here, so thank all of you! Until I drove her home last week I had never even sat in a Corvette, I just knew I always wanted one.
Compared to some of the amazing rides I've seen here mine isn't anything special but I absolutely love it and can't stop smiling every time I get behind the wheel.

Yours is special, Alan, because, well because it’s yours!! She is a beauty. Welcome to the Forum and welcome to the Corvette lifestyle. As you are aware, it’s highly contagious. No use fighting it, just enjoy the ride. Congratulations!

Thanks, Jack! I really hope the weather gets better because I can't wait to get back in the driver's seat.
