Default First ride ever

Today I finally got my 87 running for the first time since I own it.
So took her out and washed it for the first time too.
And them time for my first ride with her 😯
I'm a happy owner.
I love it. What a difference the 4 speed for the driving experience WOW !
And guess what ? The overdrive works perfectly 👍
This is the vette I was looking for.
And she's loud too.
REALLY REALLY HAPPY 🥳😁

Glad to hear the car is up and running! Even better that your first drive in the car was as incredible as it was! Wishing you many more happy and trouble free miles!

As you drive it you will love it even more. As Danny Coker said:” A Vette should sound like a Vette”.
love the loudness of my car with headers, no cats or resonator and Corsa mufflers
