First Corvette
I just bought a 1996 Collector Edition with the LT4 engine. Silver with red interior. I love this car - I can't stop driving it.

Nice choice, I have the same interior color on my CE. It always amazes me how women love the red interior. The other day I took one of the office salesladies to lunch and that's the first thing she commented on.
I'm never selling mine, I know I'd live to regret it.

Re: First Corvette (maxmissy)
Thanks for all the welcomes. This seems like a knowledgeable forum. I like doing most of mechanical work myself, so I expect I'll be asking a lot of questions.
I'm working on the pictures.

Re: First Corvette (maxmissy)
Congrats, the CE is nice. :cool:
I got mine a 10 days ago and put more mileage on it then the former owner did in the last 3 years combined and that's no exaggeration. I, too, can't stop driving it. :yesnod:
