The car is perfect the way it is, but sooner or later you'll catch the MOD fever!

Thanks for the welcoming! Here are some pics from the 2008 'Vettes doing Charleston show:

I enjoy the car so much, it is a thrill to drive, and through it I have met quite a few great people so far.
I even made the Charleston Newspaper with this article from The Post and Courier. http://www.charleston.net/news/2008/...y_chevys38644/
I plan to always own a Corvette for the rest of my life, if not several

Welcome to the forum, im 24 and love my vette, get used to funny looks from older people when they see you driving it and the dirty looks from younger crowds because they are jealous. Enjoy your ride!
