New Corvette Owner
Well, I finally settled on my first Corvette!
A 1996 Collector's Edition.
I guess you could say I'm pretty happy

Congratulations. It looks like a great car. I own a 1996 LTI A4, which I got a year and a half ago as a self gift for my 65th B'day. It's never too late.

Thanks guys! I got it as a "self gift" as well!
The wife isn't the happiest with it because it isn't "practical", but hey, that's why I have a 2nd car.
I can't wait to do some light mods to get a little power!

Very nice, welcome to the group. There are 12 step progams for Vette owners, it just a matter of time before you need one.
