I finally purchased my first Corvette. It's a 2002 Electron Blue Z06 with 40k miles. No performance mods of any kind which was difficult to find at a decent price. I purchased it earlier this week on a fly and drive with my wife. What a drive. I hadn't driven a stick in 20 years. I met several very nice folks in Oklahoma, had my first Corvette wave in Dallas and picked up about 20lbs in dust, dirt and bugs getting back to Sugar Land. I have a few minor issues to address with the car but nothing major. What a kick in the pants this thing is!

I wanted to say thanks to several of the guys on the forum that answered questions for me and were willing to do an inspection for me. I also want to say thanks to the Corvette Forum for all the knowledge I've gained in the past months. That knowledge was key to making a good decision when I purchased the car.

Now........
I have a few pictures the seller took. I would take new pictures but I'm too tired to wash the car right now.

Default Congratulations

EB is one of my favorite colors.. and goes very well with chrome wheels... You have bought yourself a beautiful car... enjoy it, and respect it.. it can bring you many smiles and can get you into alot of trouble too.. as far as the smilesz go.. Ive been driving Corvettes for 50 years, and for some reason I still get an erection evey time I start mine up. TMI? OK... its like the first time I kissed Helene Hasipin in the first grade... I too was in first grade, you dogs for thinking other wise.
Again Congratulations.
