Default New member says thanks!

I just wanted to say thank you to all the awesome corvette owners on here. I read a lot of posts on here covering all of the issues/questions that I had before purchase and everyone couldn't have been more helpful. I am now the proud owner of my first corvette, an '09 crystal red coupe and I couldn't be happier. Thank you all. My uncle has owned three corvettes including a '17 arctic white convertible that he just bought because he was excited about me getting a C6! He has a '74 convertible as well. The pic is of our cars at his house. He always tells me "There are Corvettes and then there's everything else!"

[QUOTE=BigEC6;1595176757ncluding a '17 arctic white convertible

Welcome to the Forum and enjoy your new ride. Also, I commend you as a "newbie" who even spelled "arctic" correctly - many around here leave out the middle "c"...

My guess is that is probably the uncle that he was referring to in the picture and the OP is the one taking the picture.

My guess too! Figured he would forward the message.
It does almost match his C7.

I work in Toledo, so I'm used to getting Buckeye hate from Michigan fans. I'm sure it would be worse if they ever beat us. At least we can agree that Corvettes are the best!

Ours too. I specifically searched for it. I like victory red, but it's not the same.
