Congrats and welcome. I remember the sleepless night before I picked up my car and waking up early in the morning after I bought it, just to go into the garage and admire it again. Definately an awesome feeling.

Congratulations, Jeff!

The fun has just started. I've had mine almost a year and still go out to the garage just to look at it.

Welcome to the family...

Congrats on you 1st Vette. . . . and you're right about it changing your life. . . . "Corvette isn't just a car. . . it's a Life Style". Welcome to CF ! When you get a chance how about posting some pics of your Vette. .

Ciao,
