First time Corvette owner
Hey everybody,
This is my first corvette, a C7 Grand Sport M7. Man I gotta say I wish I would have bought one years ago. I had a Dodge Scatpack Charger before the Vette, and thoroughly enjoyed it but there is no compairing it to the corvette. I hope to learn as much as I can from the great knowledge base that is here. Thanks in advance.

Welcome!
Welcome to Corvette ownership!
I bought my first one, a new 1977 in my early 20s after saving up the money from my 1st job, and paying cash for it! What a RUSH!
Owning a Corvette NEVER gets old.
I bought my 2nd one 40 years later......a brand new 2017 Stingray convertible, 3lt, MSCR, FE2, Manual 7-speed transmission in November 2017.
