Default First 'vette, first post.

Just saying hi to everyone. Last week I realized a long time car dream and bought my first Corvette, a millenium yellow '00 coupe. It is a remarkable car, and a real pleasure to own and drive as you all know. It has the manual, and the solid targa top, with a Borla exhaust. It sounds great and is is exceptional condition with 30.7K on the odometer. So now I finally know what you all have known already, and get to drive the best car I could even imagin. Check her out!

Thanks guys. It would have been fun to have one ages ago, but I wasn't ready to own one until now, and it was worth every year of the wait.

It looks like that baby is in excellent shape - nice choice. How about some shots of the interior?

Welcome! Nice choice on your first Vette.

I see the previous owner has painted your brake calipers red too, so you have at least two official mods already.

BTW, I agree on filling out your profile too. Which part of Illinois are you in?
