Default New Corvette owner

Well, I've been a 'vette fan for a few years now, and today I bought my first Corvette.

It's a 1997 C5, silver, coupe, auto, with 31k miles on it.

I'd attach a few pictures, but I can't seem to find an attachment button. Can't wait to spend the whole weekend driving it around.
