I'm 62 so your a youngster. Just kidding, wellcome to the forum!
I have loved Vettes all my life and owned a few. You are "hooked" now but prepare your self for A sickness..... It's called MOD FEVER!
You will not recover as it is an addiction. I have suffered for many years!

Welcome and congratulations. My son gave me some basics, so I could participate here also. I'm still fairly new at this. If you don't have a kid of your own readily available, I have found that borrowing one from a neighbor is the next best thing for help with posting pictures and other such "necessities" of modern life.

The good news is your already a pro at the most important thing -- Driving the vette.

Navy Blue Metallic looks great on the Vette. Only 1,439 cars were painted NBM in 99, the second lowest production color after Nassau Blue (1,034).
