Default first pictures!

A few weeks ago, I asked for some opinions on my first Corvette purchase, and thanks to the insight granted, I've been an owner for two weeks now! Thought the forum might want to see my new toy!

very smooth. A black vert was actually what I wanted origonally. But ended up with an NBM Coupe instead. I guess hindsight is 20/20 and since i dont have a garage a vert wouldn't be practical living in the elements its whole life. But man if I had a garage I'd be driving one exactly like that. Have fun keeping her clean My yukon was black.

Beautiful C5


Shane
