[QUOTE=AlisonC5;1561500793]Here's mine.......my first vette (LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!!) My favorite part is mashing the gas, shifting the 6 speed with the top down and the music cranked up. Did I mention how much I love it?

BTW, if the car looks familiar........that's because my husband has posted pictures here before.


This is a great forum. Great pics and info.



You have got to be 5'4" and have the seat all the way back to get that low! That's what I look like when I drive mine, only I have about 4 more inches on ya'!

Welcome to the Forum to both of you! Very nice Vette, A Vert in my favorite color. We go to the Shenandoah Valley Corvette Clubs Skyline Drive cruise in the Spring and October 20th in the Fall in Front Royal, Va. Hope to see ya there. Of the States I've been in I think Virginia may have the best roads to date. Enjoy your car and new lifestyle.
I can see (I did a mapquest) your family is 155 miles from Front Royal. We keep forgetting how big a state Virginia is. That's about as far as we are from here in New Jersey. At any rate check out the southeast section in the events forum for info on things to do. The Skyline Drive cruise is set for Saturday October 20th. Again, Welcome to you and your family.

In that pic, she is actually sitting on 3 New York City phone books!!! J/K We did that pic as a joke to see how low she could sit. She doesn't really drive like that.

Looks like you are enjoying the car. All you need is a roll bar and a helmet to make the picture perfect or even a classic. Enjoy

Nice vette, welcome. Can i send you a phone book to sit on, and maybe some 2x4's to duct tape to the pedals?
