Default Hi guys.

Just bought my first vette. To bad its not for me!
This is my wifes X-mas gift, (Which she doesn't know about yet)
These are some pics from the dealers site where I picked it up from.
I will have my own pics after I get it out of hideing and give it to her.

99, Auto with 39K on the odo.









And to introduce myself, heres me straping in at the track.
She puts up with this so she deserves the Vette.

I had to go back to your post a 2nd time. I thought it read "this is my x-wifes present". I thought, what is going on here? After rereading the post, I totally understand- good job. I've beem married 47 years and a couple of years ago my wife bought me my 2000 red C5 Vert for my 65th birthday. It's so great to have that kind of a partner to go thru life with!! Congratulations-Ron

What a wonderful gift!!! My husband did the same for me. Surprised me in 2003 with a 1998 pewter vert for my birthday and he did it again for our wedding anniversary this year....traded in the 98 for the 2004 Lemans edition vert.

WooHoo!!! What a difference between a 98 and an 04!!!! I just love it and hubby too!!! He is a keeper.
