Congrats and welcome to the forum!! I waited 27 years for mine. I knew by the time I was five that I would one someday. Guess the fact that my dad had several when I was growing up has something to do with it. Enjoy your new vert!!

Enjoy!

After many many years of waiting (which I now regret), I purchased my 1st Vette last October. What a joy!

PS You selected a great color

Great Choice, think you'll love the vert. If you need more sun you can head up the Columbia towards the Tri-Cities and Spokane. lol Check out the PNW topic area here if you can find it.

Click on Forums, Events & Regions, Pacific and it will bring up Cali. then go back to top and click on Events & regions, will bring up several inclucing PNW.... also can go to www.pnwcorvettes.com ...both should have some events in the area and clubs if you are interested.

Enjoy....Spring is on the way

Sounds like a real nice vette with a proud owner. This is a great to place to hang out and have fun. Just remember with a few mods even the high dollar imports are intimadated by a reasonably priced supercar!
