That smile is something known as PERMA-GRIN
. The only known cure is more driving!
Welcome to the brother/sisterhood! May you have miles and miles of smiles!

I love black but don't have the patients to keep it clean. I bought my first c5 a month or so ago and coming from a cobra mustang I can say corvette is the car for me. BTW do you live in one of those snow free zones that let you drive your car all winter? Have fun.

nice! I just got mine right around xmas too 
man, I won't forget how excited I was finally drive that vette! it was a better feeling than my 1st car (v6 camaro) or my last car (a brand new '08 jeep)
it's almost the same everytime I get in her.
I'm sure it'll be a similar feeling when I upgrade to a C6 Z06 when I can afford to do an upgrade lol
