Finally got Vet
After years of wanting a Corvette, last night I bought one. It's a 2002 Vert, 6 speed, Z-51, Torch Red with Oak interior, 12,800 Miles, not a scratch.
Today I drove several hundred miles, and it rained. I must have looked like a possessed car owner cleaning it in the hotel parking lot, while it was still drizzling.
I've gained a great deal of knowledge on this forum, and have much more to learn. I'll have lot's of questions in the upcoming weeks.
My brother bought my Z-28 Convertible, and last night we took the two cars for a spirited drive. It was a blast, and I'm hooked on the Vet's feel. Why did I wait so long?

Corvette Club in South FL
I want to join a Corvette Club in South FL. We live in Boca Raton, and a quick search found 6 clubs between West Palm and Miami. Any suggestions?
I'll snap some pics once home and clean of road grime. Can someone educate me how to post them?

Really Great
I got the exact car, except a 2000, Super low miles too, had to go to Ohio and, I too drove back to Jacksonville in the Rain. Torch & Oak with a 6-speed takes some doing to find, but a Great combination. See ya somewhere. Congradulations.
