Not really a newbie but had to resign in with my new email.
I've owned nearly 40 Corvettes. The last four were 78 Silver Anniversary, 79 red/red L82, 16 Stingray coupe red/silver, 18 Grand Sport coupe black/red. Garage is currently empty and waiting for a 2022 red mist/grey Stingray. My order just went to the factory.
