Default Thanks!

Thank you all very much for the warm welcome!

I will wave at other Corvette drivers, absolutely! I remember doing that when I was younger, when I'd ride around with my Dad in his mid-year Corvette. It is tradition!

I need to get some fresh pictures of the car, looks like this weekend the sun may actually stick around long enough to shoot some pictures!

I have some pics I took of the car right after I put the first coat of Zaino on it, but it was very overcast, and doesn't show the Navy Blue too well. They can be viewed here if anyone is interested: http://community.webshots.com/album/70198120TFtTzz

Take care everyone!

Welcome to you and welcome to me. I'm flying to Houston this Sunday to pick up my new C-5 and drive it back to Ohio. I'm an older guy who's been wanting a Vette for a long time. I feel like Santa is coming in two days.
