Congratulations and enjoy the new car. This is a great place to learn a lot about your car. And has as already been said, make sure you post some pics of the new ride once you get it home.

For SFC Rick: First time I was at the Stumps was in 1979. Back then Camp Wilson was a spot on the map where units created their base camps for CAXs. All that was there was an expeditionary airfield and a chow hall made out of wood. Last time I was there Wilson had an exchange and a club!

Wow....I think I'm in love! I got back later than I thought I would, so the sun had already gone down. But I plan on taking some pics tomorrow after work and posting them. It's absolutely incredible! I think I may sleep in it tonight...

Congratulations and no need to think your in love just man up and admit it!

When I first brought my C5 home I tried to sleep in it but I was so excited that I just ended up driving it all night!

My guess is that the last thing you will do tonight right before going to bed will be to go look at the Vette and then try to sleep!

Haha you guys tagged it right on the nose! I did look at it through the window like 11 times last night, and then had dreams about driving through the front door of the house (which was Corvette shaped) so I could watch TV!
