I finally did it!!! Pics posted...kinda
After 2 years of slinking around this forum and trying to respectfully educate myself; I finally pulled the trigger on my first Vette. I closed the deal on a Black '03 50th Ann Z06 with mod red int. 39K miles for $22,900. I purchased it from Fine Cars USA in Florida. They seemed reputable, had good feedback, very professional, and gave me a money back gaurantee if I didnt like the car once I got it. The car looks clean as a whistle, good carfax history...oh yea did I mention it had mod red interior
. I hope I did good and can't wait till it gets here. Car is completely stock except for chrome Z wheels. The winters are long here in MN...so let the mods begin.

This is the ebay link of the car...the only pics I got right now. :o

I like your post PAZ06...I planned on maybe doing some little cosmetic mods such as...shorty antenna, floor mats, maybe lower the car on stock bolts and throw on a front spoiler for good measure.
Any other ideas or opinions let me know...
