Default Finally!! First Time 'Vette Owner!

Hello all, After many, many years of dreaming and wishing I finally managed to purchase my first Corvette! I do have a few pictures to share, keep in mind the Vette sat in storage for several years and it rained the day I brought it home...It's a little dirty. I have since washed, clay bar, and waxed....new pictures on the way!

2003 50th Anniversary ZO6
55k Miles
Apparent Mods:
- Borla Exhaust
- K&N Intake

Nice looking Z06. Great color combo. I may be a little biased though. The yellow, black and red combo is sharp IMO.

Good looking vette, now get out there and detail it! The yellow accents with the mod red interior need to go though

Congrats, you've got a real beauty! I'll never forget the feeling I had when I finally purchased my vette, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine. It still brings a smile to my face everytime I look at it.
