Default My First Vette
I took delivery of my very first Vette yesterday afternoon. It is a '99 NBM with Light Oak interior. Only bad thing is the seats need to go, but thats a very minor thing. It has the repro Z06 wheels on it already. It is almost fully loaded including the 3.15 performance axle option, only thing it is missing is the upgraded suspension. I'm loving every bit of it so far. I took a couple quick pics this morning. Nothing fancy until later. Now the modding can begin!
