Finally
Hell-o to everyone. I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hell-o.
After forty years of dreaming, begging, and pleading, my dream finally came true. I am now the owner of a 2002 black on black coupe. Why did I wait so long? It is even more fun than I imagined. I find myself offering to run errands for the wife and then taking the long way to complete. I can't seem to get any chores done around the house lately.
I will post pictures later. This forum is great. Thanks!!!

I'm also newly caught. I just bought a Red 2003 coupe, not just my first Vette but first sports car! What a blast! I'm trying to resist buying mods for it for a while, although I already bought new rear tires and a 3M clear bra. Sure wish I'd have read the forum before I got the tires (Goodyear EMTs), but I'll know better next time. Great forum guys !

I appreciate all the replys.
I have had the car for four weeks. Going on our first road trip next week. Leaving lower Alabama headed to Orlando. I am debating new tires to replace the GY runflats. Local tire dealer has a set of Nitto 555
in stock. Most of the reviews on the forum give the Nitto's pretty good marks so I may try them.
