Default OK, I finally did it

I finally found it. 2001, MN6, Black on Black coupe, 15K, all options except the real-time damping. Picked it up yesterday. My first Vette.

Hi David, welcome!! As far as the picture, it didn't work, you might want to load the pic to a picture hosting place like tinypic.com. Can't wait to see your ride! Black on black

I was pretty particular on my search. 15K was the mileage range I was looking for. Bone stock was another. It had more options than I hoped. It even had the cargo net in a bag in the trunk. Nice touch. I drove from Dallas to Baton Rouge and back to pick it up. 8 hours.

One question to all regarding the GMPP. I bought it from a BMW dealer who pretty much didn't have a clue what options it had. I was digging in the glove compartment and fumbled across the GMPP which was good for 60K and expires in 5/07. So, it's still in effect. How do I get it transferred to my name. The original owner is nowhere to be found. I have his name and address on the GMPP info but no phone number. I checked the internet with no luck. I mailed him a letter today in hopes of a reply. Any possibilities of getting it transferred without his knowledge/signature???

Thanks for the help. Here's couple more pics:
