my first vette!
after having several camaros and a 04 gto, i finally stepped up and bought a 02 torch red vette. And i must say this is by far the best vehicle i have ever driven. i look forward to chatting with you guys and here are a few pics of my ride.

Torch red '02 vettes are the best...but I'm a little biased.
Welcome and enjoy the ride.

Congrats. Looks like a nice one there. Watch out for the mod bug around here. Once you start making those improvements to the car, it is hard to stop...

Wow what a gorgeous car. I've always loved black cars but sometimes I wonder if I wouldn't have liked a red Vette even more. Mine to is my first, and I totally agree it's the best vehicle I've ever driven.
