Default My first post, my first vette

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.

Nice! Looks like our 2000 'vert, except ours is silver, yours looks pewter. We live in Bedford, on the other side of the James. Maybe we'll see you down the road sometime.

No Wayne. Allison said that her husband has Novas. Nothing wrong with that, but you know who WE think has better "car taste" in this family.

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.

My husband has had Novas for 15 years. I convinced him that it was my turn for a fun car. We have way too many cars to buy another vette (we'll need a 10-car garage soon )......so we are a husband and wife team that shares my vette for now.
