My first vette!
Hi everyone - I just joined the forum - bought my first vette yesterday. I posted in the new member intro section just now too but I wanted to do a special hello in the C5 section. 2003 coupe, 6spd, red, only 16.5k miles. I threw a couple pics up in the new member section.
So much to read up on and learn now!
