Default First Weekend with the Vette

I bought my first Corvette about two weeks ago but I was out of town for a while and this past weekend was my first opportunity to go out and play. (actually I spent most of my time cleaning up my garage to give it a nice home to live in) All I can say is that it was the most fun I can remember having in a long time. I'm going out sometime next week for a drive through the Blue Ridge Parkway. Should be a blast! Just thought I'd share some pictues of my first weekend with the car.

Default Your first mod?

Marc:

Congrats on your new Corvette. She's a beauty.

Since you have no mods as yet, you might consider the popular wagon wheel decal.

Regards,

Grant

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sure could use some pics of a Navy Blue Corvette with the decals.

Decal kit available at http://www.grantdailey.com/WWMakeover

Price: $35.00, plus $5.00 S&H. Delivery: 48-72 hours.
