New member and just bought my first Corvette, a 1987.

I look forward to learning a lot from you who are more experienced. I am also interested in finding out about any events that may be coming up in the Fort worth area.
By the way, my wife keeps telling me that my red corvette is a ticket magnet. Any thought?

WELCOME! I don't believe it's the color of the car that gets the attention of the law, it has more to do with the driving style. Just remember to "Speed Safely" and enjoy the new ride.

Glyn, welcome to CAC. Absolutely "Arrest me Red" draws attention. I can avow to the fact. I had my Arctic White 94 for 5 yerars and never got a second look. I traded it for a Magnetic Red 2001 and within 24 hours got stopped (no ticket, ). When the patrolman walked away his comment was "Nice car, I like the red."

You'll like the Corvette world there's a great bunch of great people out there to share your enthusiasm.

Welcome to CAC.

Ditto Toms007. Once there was two Camaros in the garage. One was an 82 red vanilla 4 cylinder auto and the other was a 84 black Z28 with the 305 replaced by an older 4 bolt main 350, camel heads, cam, nitrous and 5 speed. Guess which one got more tickets?

Welcome to Corvette Action Center and Congratulations

First of all welcome aboard we're glad you have joined us Red and Corvette might be a bit of an attention getter but I too belive if you drive like you have some sense the "long arm of the law" will not bother you!! If you drive it like you stole it someone is going to want to know if you did. That is their job, protect and serve, and try to keep folks from killing each other :Silly

Welcome to the best Corvette online forum. And, putting over 70,000 miles on my Bright Red 89 Convertible, I never got a ticket.

Not sure which vehicle excites me the most. Is the plane yours too?

No the plane was at our local show this spring and I just used it for a photo op.
