Welcome to Corvettedom! This may be your first, but not the last. (I've been enjoying Vettes since I bought my first new one in 1962 -- it's a great habit!)

You did good man and nice color choice! Stay out of the forced induction side of the house....you'll really be in trouble. Thought your vette was unlike anything else? Get some air through that thing

Congrats on the new ride! It looks great! I just got my first almost a month ago now and I cannot get enough....

The look back is fierce... Catch myself doing it every time I get out. Sometimes even a double take!
