Finally, I got one!
Well, at a young age, first of all I know I am one lucky individual. Second of all, I've been around this forum for some time now looking, and now I will be more active on the forums (when I have time.) I'm selling my personal car and another to justify this purchase, but it's been a long time coming. I blame it all on my father 
because the sickness runs deep. I've loved Corvette's since I got my first Vette jacket at age 3, taking rides in dad's several over my short life, and for the first time, I have my own to drive. Dad called an old friend of his who owns a Chevrolet dealership just north of here to see if he had any Vettes in stock, and it so happens he had a 92' Coupe, Bright Aqua Metallic, with 10k cared for miles. Had been sold by him, had been kept in top shape for 12 years in the same town, and was traded back to the dealer on a new vette. I've driven it almost a hundered miles now, wax the front off everytime I drive it. Corvette's aren't just a car to me, they are an icon of my childhood. Sorry for the long post all...just want to let everyone in the C4 section know a little about me before I start posting much. Look foward to owning many in the future..maybe someday working on the engineering team 
. And as soon as I get them hosted, pics will follow. This thing is one clean car, top to bottom, nose to tail.

Ahhh
The above is my reaction when I get out of my trailblazer and behind the wheel of my Vette. I always dreamed of owning a vette, but kids, housing cost and all kinds of other silly stuff kept me from buying one. Now I am looking forward to adding a C-5 to the fleet.

Welcome. Sounds like you got a nice car. : )
At age 20, I know how you feel. I stepped into the driver's seat when I was 19 in July, and I've been hooked ever since...
But maybe you'll feel my pain after you start buying all your mods... Going to school full time, work, and a girlfriend who's a full time job to deal with, is a feat of its own. : )
Good luck with her. Post some pics up when you can. : )

Thanks a lot guys. Here are some pics that I downsized quite a bit, I'll post some high res ones later on because I have a lot more pics. At the end of the Vette pics, there's a pic of something else I pursue in my off time..racing The one on the left is Chromalusion, and note the 57 in the background
