Default Just got my first corvette!!!!!! picture fixed

Here is my first corvette. I have been saving and looking for a long time. it's a 2001 6 speed, all stock except for K&N filter. I have already asked a few questions and most likely will be asking some more. You guys really seem to have all the answers.

Cool! When I bought mine, all it had was blackwing. We're in the same boat. Once you buy one mod, it's a slippery slope!
