Default Finally, 1st time owner!!

Just bought my first Corvette. A 2002 Electron Blue coupe. 6-speed, w/ only 26,500 miles. Price was $32,000 which included 575 miles worth of shipping charges. I feel like I got a pretty good deal. I've always said I'd own a vette before I was 25 years old, and well, I just turned 24...

You have joined a lifestyle and family, not just a great car. I have owned 19 cars since getting my license. I have never loved a car more than my 03 vette.
WELCOME!!
