Well,
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.

Car looks great and good choice! I do like that color.
Recommend the C6 shifter as a upgrade and you are good to go.
What minor issues are there to address?

Congratulations!!! I love EB Z06s... My first Z06 was a 2002 EB Z! I hope you don't mind the constant wave of young hot girls that are going to hit on YOU now. These girls see that car and that color and go nuts. You'll have to beat 'em back with a stick. LOL
