Default My first Vette
I took delivery (literally, the guy drove it to my house) on Friday afternoon. It is a 99 FRC with 63k miles. It is a two owner car with the second owner owning it since 2000 with 6k miles on it. The entire service history is well documented. Mods are in my sig. It is mostly stock, which is how I wanted it. The only mods I have planned are 18% tint to take place tomorrow, and new rims sometime down the road. I am creating another post to poll my options. I am so excited, I barely slept Thursday night in anticipation. I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank everybody on this board in helping me along my journey of finding the right car by answering the questions I've had along the way.









The white crap on the floor is just drywall dust I tracked in from my newly completed garage addition (kind of like Field of Dreams; if you build it, they will come.)

Nice looking car. I plan on replacing the wheels on my 99 as well but will replace when it's time for new tires. I think that'll happen next year.

Enjoy!
