As a newer owner I can't tell you enough good things about this forum. A ton of knowledge around here. One suggestion is if you need anything do a search first and 95% of the time you will find 5-10 threads about it.

nice car! You won't sleep for the first two nights. You'll keep getting up to go to the garage and look at it.

Congrates bro. You and I bought a Vette on the same day. Same color too, but mine is the drop top. Good luck and have fun.

Very nice – congrats. I’ve had my 02 about 2 weeks now and like beltfed21 said you will find yourself running out to the garage just to look at your car. After a few days your face will start to hurt from smiling all the time.
