First Corvette

Well it took me 27 years, but I just bought my first Corvette. I bought an 2002 EB C5Z with 36k mi. She's all stock with the exception of a Delrin shift **** and Eclipse stereo. I absolutely love the car as is, and will be trying very hard to fight off the mod bug, but I think it may bite soon. Here are some pics.

Nothing like starting at the top. They don't come much better than that. Good luck and enjoy.
