Yesterday afternoon I took possession of a 2023 Stingray 2LT. Pretty base level, just the front lift and Rapid blue as options. Natural (tan) interior, coupe. 9300 miles 1 owner local vehicle. I’m smiling for sure, if slightly strained this morning when the insurance bill arrived via email.

My last Vette was a ‘79 which I had until ‘92. Quite a change from what I remember. I’ve been prowling around here, there’s lots of good information which I’ve already found helpful. I’m sure there’s plenty of questions I’ll have.

I’m just south of Seattle in Kent. My fun cars the last 30 years have all been pre 72’s, but I’m looking forward to the open shows and the modern driving experience. One other Chevy in the stable, a 67 RS Camaro convertible resto mod. Old age and treachery car.

Impressive. Congratulations on a real beauty, Mike. Your 67 Camaro restomod and your Corvette are two cool cars for sure, but what a world of difference. Enjoy!

Thanks, all of you. Being 76, I’m still looking for how to adjust the points, and the basic carb settings for tune up. LOL
