Default First Time Corvette Owner

Folks, I finally did it. I bought a 2024 Stingray 3LT Conv yesterday. It has Cacti and a black-top exterior. INCREDIBLE!! I am fascinated by the overall engineering, quality of the build, and performance. Wow! I also have a 2012 MB CL600 V12 and love the performance of that machine, but this machine is totally incredible. I am having fun reading all about it and watching the YouTube videos. Very pleased so far. Located in Boulder City, NV. 71 yrs old, flying corporate jets for a living. -Kevin Savord

First Corvette @ 71 years old! That's great! I'm 72 yrs, and on my 2nd one. Yes......please post photos of your new Corvette!?
FWIW.....I didn’t realize corporations at their discretion, allow a pilot that age do their flying of employees. Are you in a 2-pilot corporate jet?

Fortunately, no. My Cessna T210 is expensive enough for me. The CJ is beyond my abilities financially.
