Default I got it! My first Corvette!

Some of you may remember the thread I made a few weeks ago about trying to purchase a Corvette and the deal falling thru. Well after getting some help at Corvettes of Dallas, everything turned my way. Today I picked up a 2001 coupe in Millenium yellow! It is simply stunning. It's too dark to get some good pictures now, but I'll get some tomorrow hopefully. BTW I've never used the SRTD system. Does it actually make a big difference in daily driving? This car came with it.

Awesome! I know EXACTLY how you feel! Take the time to learn how to drive that handfull! A couple of weeks after I bought my vette two dudes were checking it out outside a 7/11 I had pulled into. One of them said, "Nice car, scared yourself in it yet?" My reply was a truthful, "Every Damn Day!" Enjoy!
