Default Noobie's first 'vette!

Hi all, first post here!!

I sure hope that a yellow, '03 Z06, bone stock, with 13k miles, and in absolutely pristine condition is worth $35K 'cause that's what I just dropped on one for my wife's b-day at a dealer today

The sales guy is shotgun for the test drive and he's eggin' me on "HIT IT HIT IT HIT IT HARD....now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!!!" It was priceless!!!!



All I can say is daaaaaamn!!!!!!

Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Doesn't matter what your Vette is worth to anyone but you. As long as you are happy with the deal... well... life is good.

Welcome to the forum! Don't forget to let your wife drive the present "you bought for her". That's a good one.
