Congratulations on your new love and finding the best forum on the 'Net! GAWD.....I love reading enthusiastic new owners reactions to their first Vette!! I think your description of your feelings is very cool!

Funny thing is I often describe my car in a similar way - I tell folks that I have a mistress. She's black, she loves expensive shiny things and really reacts well when I rub her with expensive good smelling lotions!

This is the place that give you lots of ideas - be prepared to spend some $$$$$!

By the looks of your private photo shoot with her, I can see why you treat her so well

Thanks! I - like you have had cars I've liked. This car on the other hand is one that I truly love! When I have had bad day - nothing makes me feel better than a quick top down ride. Even just standing in the garage, while I smoke my cigar and looking at this car - thinking I can't believe after waiting for 45 years that I finally have my dream car.


Once again - welcome to the madness!
