Default New Corvette Owner

Have had my corvette for 2 days now and what a thrill. Its a dream come true. Its a 2002 Pewter Metalic Coupe with just over 26000 miles on it. Been smiling ever since I got it , and yes I've looked in the garage quite a few times just looking at , still can't believe its all mine.
