Newbie From Texas

Greetings, all, from the DFW area. I'm a first time Corvette owner having just acquired a low-mileage 2019 Grand Sport in pristine condition. Driving it home yesterday I realized what a huge mistake I made...in not getting one earlier. What fun!

I'm looking forward to learning a great deal from the massive amount of experience on this forum.

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I haven't personally taken any pictures yet but the previous owner bought it from Verillo Motorcars and it's the "pinup girl" for July 2025 in their calendar:
