New 2002 owner
Thanks for allowing me into the group! I just bought my first Corvette; a 2002 red convertible with red interior and 6-speed. Looking forward to interacting with the group!

Thank you!
Thank you all for the warm welcome. I have owned 11 different Camaros from 1968-2011, but this is the first Corvette in our family since my dad bought my mom a ‘56 for a wedding present! I am super excited!
