Finally Got A Vette
Finally got the car I've been waiting all my life for. Have wanted a Vette since I was 5 and at 32 I finally bite the bullet and got one. My dads had a dozen or so including a couple 66-67's, an 89 and currently has an 03. I picked this 99 up in Sept. just haven't gotten around to posting about it till now. Just wondering how long before the mod bug bites. Just wanted to say hello and post some pics. I've been reading this forum for months and you guys have a wealth of information to share.

Hanging out in this forum, it's gonna be hard to not start modding the hell out of this thing. So many nice cars with nice mods. I'm probably ordering the exhaust this week and I'm trying to decide on a wheel and tire upgrade. Probably going to go with Z06 size chromies but have been thinking of chrome C6 wheels. I think they would look good with a pewter car. Opinions anyone?

Congrats... By the time you read this message, the mod bug will start to create an itch that only your wallet will be able to scratch.
Have fun!
