Default Third Generation Corvette Owner




Hey all,
I am a student at the University of Arkansas, and I am a third generation Corvette owner, with my father getting me interested in cars. I drive a 2000 model, and it’s been a journey already because it’s my first manual vehicle, it’s quite the car to learn stick on. I’m excited to join the forums, and I plan to soak up as much knowledge as I can!
