Default First Corvette

I finally did it. After searching for sometime i found what i wanted. 95 LT1 White/Red leather, 6-speed, 55k and in excellent condition! Im 28 and have been a fan of C4's for a long time. I had to travel to get the car but it is worth the $12.8! Ive been lurking in this forum for the past couple of months and appreciate all the info!

Congratulations on buying a great car! Have you been caught doing a "look back" yet? I was sitting in my truck at Wal Mart recently when a black C6 vert roared in and parked. He let the sweet young thing that was with him walk a few steps ahead and then turned and did a look back. He was more interested in the Vette than his shapely gf!

Welcome to the forum! I got to admit, I like your choice of color combo. But then again, I am a little biased.
