Default I Got One!

After years of waiting and wanting I finally got my vette. I got a '99, silver, black interior, 6-spd, removable top. I'm completely in love.

I have arrived.





Sorry I couldn't figure out how to get the pics to show up in the actual post. Thanks for all of the responses and words of welcome. Don't worry I won't forget to wave.
