Graduation gift
Here are some pics of my vette that I got myself for graduation.( college) I picked it up a few months ago and have been enjoying it ever since, also read the forum daily. I have found that the forum can be a valuable source of info on the car. I am also enjoying the waves from fellow Corvette owners.

Here are a few more pics, and I know the wheels are on wrong. They were like that when I bought it and I have not had a chance to fix them yet. I plan to replace them with a set of chrome thrust wheels anyways.

looks REALLY nice. I have always loved the Admiral Blue. Such a nice vivid colour... no question at all that it is BLUE.
Chrome TT's? I would suggest checking some of the matte or polished finishes. If you want to keep them, the chrome plating will more than likely start to flake off in a 3 years, or so... just the nature of plating chrome on aluminum... the aluminum flexes, the chrome doesn't.
This, against the blue, would look hot:

Nice car....but
All this talk about the wheels and no one noticed the left front is turning in the wrong direction! Check the directional arrow on the front tires. It may be the fronts were only switched when installed. Otherwise, great looking blue car.

Thanks everyone for all the congratulations, and kudos on the vette. Also a Corvette wave to all other forum members of the class of 07.

I know the wheels aren't on right, but I haven't had a chance to fix them, and may just wait till I put the TT's or some other wheels on.
Thanks again to everyone for all your kudos and advice
