Finally got my Corvette over the weekend. I picked her up in Los Angeles this past Sunday and drove her home to southern Utah
2002 Electron Blue Metallic Coupe with Black interior, MM6, Z51, 1SC and Dual Roof Panels. I haven't been able to wipe the permagrin off my face ever since The pictuer isn't great, it was taken with my cell phone at work, but I will get some more on my day off next week.

I bet that trip back to southern Utah was the best ride you ever had!

Congratulations and welcome to the C5 Community!
