Default First Vette
Just bought my first Vette! 2003 Z06 in Red w/36,000 miles.

The first 15 miles have been great and I am looking forward to many more!

This has been a permanent condition since about noon today.

Great car congrats on the purchase. Just as a reminder and I know others have told you,

Being your first Vette, be real mindful that this car can launch you into the ditch in milliseconds.

Have fun and be safe, it' a great ride, one to be real proud of.
