Default My first vette!!!!

I just bought my very first vette. It's a black on black 99 coupe with glass top and hard top (targa).
Dual air filters, b&m short shifter and shift ****, 19"s on front 20"s on back Z06 chrome style rims, HUD.
She's a beaut!
She's fast as hell too.
I'm hooked.

BTW, I only payed 13k.
Clear title, and she's in good shape.
she does have 99k miles though.

Still, i thought 13 was AWESOME!!

Congrats on the new ride. Here's to miles of smiles. Don't sweat the mileage, they'll run longer than that. Of course, we'll need some pics.
