Default Bought a corvette today

I was searching around this afternoon on autotrader and found the exact car that I wanted. So I went down and checked it out shortly thereafter and ended up buying it. This is my first corvette ever... I love it!

So here it is... a 2002 Corvette with 27,000 miles. They call it a Lemans Blue... I call it midnight blue, or in honor of my team winning the superbowl, I'm gonna call it Colts Blue It's got the glass top, ebony interior, automatic (yeah I got an auto.. it's my daily driver), heads up display, ride control, memory seats, telescopic steering, dimming mirror.

Congratulation on the great looking Vette. That's just great to see someone looking for what they want and then buying it when they find it. If you like a fun car and don't mind a lot of looks you will have a ball when you drive it.

thanks for the correction. they just had lemans blue on the tag for the keys... I was thinking lemans was a lighter shade of blue. Either way, I'm still going to call it Colts Blue.. hehe This color and spiral grey were my two favorite vette colors.
