Congrats, that first time bringing her home is great isn't it. I still remember the first day I had mine almost 5 years ago. Fantastic feeling.

Welcome to the pewter brotherhood.

I still remember the feeling of completing the purchase and starting the drive home from California in MY Corvette!

Pewter Power for the masses.

Congratulations and welcome to the brotherhood. Sounds like my '02 except for the gears.

One of these days I two will figure out what is necessary to post pics. I've only been a member for three years but I am confident that I can do it. I've also heard that telephones can take pictures and there are ovens that will bake a potato in less than ten minutes. It seems like the faster I go the behinder I get.
