Default Hello from the sunshine state!
Hey everyone, I finally pulled the trigger for a C8 Stingray. I used to have an '80 C3 and enjoyed her for over 20 years. It was a tough decision to let her go but it's easy to enlarge my garage. nor am I a collector, I like to drive my cars. So introducing Roxczann my Red Mist Stingray. She's so purdy but like Prince said she's my "Little Red Corvette". Looking forward to taking care of her yet driving her to keep her juices flowing. I enjoy forums for the information we all can share. I'm remaining optimistic that the people here aren't here to make fun of questions they deem as dumb and they are superior somehow with arrogant replies. Looking forward to learning and sharing when I can. Thanks
