Congrats! So, how many times have you snuck out to the garage just to peak at it? Did you sit in it and read the entire owner's manual yet? Oh the joys!

Congrats on the great looking Vette. That is one funny picture, can't wait to show my wife (my adult supervisor) and watch her eyes roll completey out of her head. You may need extra garage space for that grin.

Best,
Jay

The grin will always be there. And wait till you drive down the highway and people passing look at you and fellow vette owners wave, and you win your first "show trophy" and you put your first personal touches on(like exhaust,etc.) and............it goes on and on. Congrats!!

Congratulations

Now comes the real spending ......

Get those run-craps replaced.
Squat it down.
Get an exhaust system.
Open up it's breathing.

Have fun driving.
