Default New corvette owner checking in

Well, not really new...but new to me. Just picked up an 03 Speedway White C5 couple weeks ago and been burnin the road up ever since. As far as i know, car is stock other than Breathless intake and Corsa Pace Car exhaust. I've always been a part of the F-body crowd so this is my first vette. Been roaming the boards over the past few days and just got a chance to sign up. Only pics i have right now are from the stealership...





Seems like a cool board, look forward to being part of the community.
