Default My First ...

I just brought home my very first Corvette. A mag. red C5 (2000). It looks good in my garage!

Special thanks goes out to Rouge Wave who had to listen to me whine about getting a Vette for ... well for too long to remember ... But mostly for his advice and help. He really went the extra mile in helping me scope out this ride! Thanks to him (and my wife) for helping to make this happen.

Out for a little joy ride:


Going night, night in the garage:
