Yes!!! My First Vette
Yup...my first post 'cause its my first Vette! Wow! Finally made it to this new season of life! Been motorcycle touring for a long time...now we have the C5 Coupe we've been looking for. A Torch Red 01 with 27k miles on it! Heck, I was up at 4:30 in the morning peeking in the garage to see if it was really there! YES...NOT A DREAM...IT WAS THERE! I look forward to learning from you all!

The only intervention we're likely to do is the one between him and anyone trying to moderate his addiction!!!!! 
Just wait until the Mod bug bites!!! Then you're in real trouble!!!!!!
By the way, that 4:30am feeling never really goes away!! You are now destined to a lifetime of garage door sneak-and-peeks, and parking lot look-backs!!!!! What a glorious disease to have!!!!!
Congratz, enjoy and welcome to the Forum!!
