Thank-you for all the nice things said about me Vette. I have a feeling that it's going to be a fun ride.

I have a lot of hobbies, but never got into the Vette thing until recently. This should be fun and I'm looking forward to going to the varius events Vette lovers have around the area. Oh well....better order those prescription aviator sunglasses to go with the car so it compliments the "look." I have this sneaky feeling there will be a lot of little extras I get for this thing.

You've succumbed and now you're one of us (muhuhuwah!)! Wait until you get in it and you start driving it. You'll see why we love our C4 Corvettes. Your choice with a 96' gets you the last of the C4's and probably the most refined of them all. On a nice day, you'll take the top off and feel the warm breeze and the experience of driving a 'slot-car-on-steroids'. It ain't like any other regular car...

PS, what color is it?

Congrats and welcome to the club.
Now go back to the guy you bought it from and see if he has a FSM and all the other Vette goodies he collected for his old car that he will sell.
