Default Just bought a vette!!

Hello everyone, I've been browsing this forum for the past month and I finally made my decision on a 2002 electron blue corvette conv. with 30,000 miles on it..... WOW I still feel like I'm dreaming, does this car ever put a smile on my face . This car is beautiful and the power just scares the crap out of me (my last car was a sunfire). I'll post pics as soon as I figure out how to.

Rob

Congratulations! That smile on your face will turn into a big grin everytime you look, drive or think about your Vette!!

Hey Rob...congrats and welcome to the madness Life as you know it will never be the same. Hamilton eh? I work downtown there but live in Oakville. Be sure to check out the Canadian Events section..alot of good guys there and we have a couple of meets coming up soon

I love Electron Blue...when I was looking for my C5, that was first choice but couldn't find one with tan interior at the time...being Italian, the red and tan combo kept calling my name and was just to hard to resist..I think its part of our genetic code

welcome to the forum .
don't forget to when you see another vette on the road .
That's a big jump from a Sunfire to a Vette
Enjoy the looks, attention getting, and mostly the power .
This car is designed to keep you safe , but you have to respect the power as well
