1st Vette

After reading some posts of first time vette owners, I also just joined the ranks, bought one a week ago, 92 vert, 19.400 miles, one owner. With the low mileage and I hate to be the one to put mileage on it. I have waited years for the chance to own a Vette and could not pass this one up. Thanks to all for all the info on this site

You're looking at it the wrong way... Someone else saved and sacraficed so that you'd have a nice Vette to enjoy the miles on...

Enjoy, and I'll be the first to say, PICS???

Ditto the pics thing.

Please don't let this car wither away in the garage.

DRIVE THE THING! OFTEN!
