Sweet! Now you are part of the elite, we are the "chosen ones" that the gods have allowed to own Vettes.
BTW - anything you need to know about her can be answered on this forum. There is nothing that hasn't been seen, tinkered with, modified, troubleshot, enhanced, or re-engineered! That's the other perk of owning a C5 Vette.
Enjoy her....

Give me a few months to recover from the initial cost and I'll be off and running. Have a few small things I'm already looking at.
Shift **** loose and "used dirty" so need one of those. And I was looking at the covers for the rear compartment behind the seat.
I'll do the little things while I get to know her then....watch out

Congrats. 
I bought mine with 123,000 and am at 134,000 right now. The other 3 cars are also well over 100K, ironically with the 87 the lowest at 124,000 miles

Only real complaint I have is they said it was owned by a doctor....a doctor that smoked like a chimney! I'll be airing it out for a while....Febreeze is my friend right now.

Ok so mechanic found:
--Front Air dam missing
--Front brakes need replaced (dealer I bought it from WILL be doing this)
--What looks like a small leak of oil either oil pan or rear seal they could not tell. Guess we will watch and see...
Needed alignment, which I took care of today.
