Congrats on your Corvette. I remember when I first fot mine last fall. It was a feeling like that you have finally made it, a feeling of sucess knowing that you have one of the coolest sports car on the road. Not to mention that the giggles that i got everytime you go to pass a car or merge onto the highway. The people here on this forum are one of the coolest guys and gals around. I really feel that its like one big extended family. Too bad we could not have a complete CF meet somewhere in the middle of the country. Have fun with the new car, and have fun moddin it also.
