Default Hello from Louisiana

Just ordered a new Grand Sport. I've wanted a Corvette since I was 10 years old when friend of my older brother came over with a new 1963 Stingray. Presently have a 1969 Jaguar XKE, the Vette will make a good stable mate. I sure hope it comes in before the end of the year.

Cheers
Dale

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on your first Vette!! And it's a Grand Sport! Pretty for a first experience! Spend a lot of time in C6 General because there is a lot to learn about these cars. Enjoy the car and the Forums.

Just so you know, pictures are kind of required around here so if you aren't already set up with an internet hosting site I'll suggest you sign up with photobucket. It's what most of us use and it's free. Here's a tutorial if you want to try it:

And as to your order, you are aware that the Corvette Factory is shut down all of November and first week of December. I hope your order gets picked up right away ASAP in Dec. Best of luck.
