Default First Vette

I just brought home my first Vette, a 2004 magnetic red coupe, with 11,500 miles. It came from Conte's Corvette's in Vineland, NJ, who was the best person I have ever purchased a vehicle from. 20 years of waiting are finally over!

Don't let anyone it's not normal to just go out to the garage, pop a top and sit there just to admire the curves of s C5.
