Default New with vehicle being built in 2 weeks

Hello everyone. I feel like the luckiest man on earth I have a great wife (April is our 25 anniversary) and soon to get my dream car. A 2013Velocity Yellow Grand sport coupe being built TPW Jan 14th.
In the meantime I was doing some research and looking for a great local corvette club in the Oakville/Burlington area (if possible) with my focus being to join in on car cruises. We love to drive and would love to do so with other fantastic Corvette owners.

Thanks All,

James

Welcome to the Clan! There are several Canadians on the Forum - I'm sure one of them or more will chime in with a recommendation.

Welcome, you will love the car. A good first cruise would be to Bowling Green to see the Museum and the plant just check with them because of the new C7 they won't be giving tours for a while.
Welcome

I went this past summer and did the VIP tour, as I wanted to make sure I could see the C6 in production. Had a fantastic time it was a really great experience. Highly recommend it to anyone that has not yet gone.

Thank you capecodvette. And congratulations are in order to you too.
I am a huge Boston sports fan (GoBruinsGo), maybe we can meet up sometime and cruise the east coast.

Congrats-enjoy the ride

I had a MY C5 and it was a tough decision to not get the same color when I got the C6.
