I did it!!!!!!!!!!
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.

You got a real head turner there - and of course a great color choice. Congrats on the purchase and best of luck with the car.
