Default Greetings from Oro Valley, AZ

Hello everyone it’s nice to meet you.

Purchased my “New to Me” ‘23 3LT convertible in April and I’m really loving it. Not the easiest to get in and out of (I’m 6ft 4in) but once I’m in the driver’s seat I can’t imagine being anywhere else! What a phenomenal piece of machinery.

Looking forward to learning from fellow forum members and getting to know what the C8 ownership experience is all about.

Best regards,
Dave

Welcome from another new member. Me and my new to me 23 Stingray are up in Kent for the summer, but when it cools off I’ll be back in Tucson. Most likely at the Home Depot up in Oro. I’ve learned a ton of useful things here in a couple months. Great site.
