Miles and miles of smiles to you! I'm on my first Vette, too - although it it's been almost 2 years for me. I still get a major thrill every time I slip behind the wheel and turn the key.

I hope that feeling never passes for both of us!

Congratulations on the new car and welcome to the forum and the family. Here's to many miles of smiles. It is customary to post pictures for us all to see. Enjoy the ride and don't forget to wave.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I am waving at every Vette I pass by. It is nice to be part of the family. I will take pics this weekend and see if I can post them.

Curious - how long will I continue to open the garage door and grin foolishly when I am not driving this wonderful car?
