Default New Owner 2003 Z06 - Intro

Guys,
I wanted to introduce myself. I finally bought the car of my dreams a 2003 MY Z06 with 13.5k miles (Now car has 14K after 10 days!). I always wanted a yellow Corvette and it took me months to find the exact car I was looking for. I have a lot to learn and I look forward to being a member of this site. My car was built in April of 2003, and I am located in PA. The only thing I wish is that the car had the mod red interior but that is very difficult to find on MY cars.

I've tried to include pics, but I'm not sure how to do it...

Erik

Welcome. If you already have a host for your pictures, you can just attach them to your post, usuing the yellow square icon at the top of your post box. Just paste an image there, erasing the http/ first, and your image will be where you place it. If you're using CF to host, then prepare to wait a little longer to be able to access your album pictures.

Congrats on the purchase and for picking the fastest, best looking color available . I thought I found one with low miles (36k) you really found a low mileage car. Sorry you couldnt find one with the mod red interior, I found the last one.

Enjoy it!

Welcome to the family, I have the some car you just bought but I do have the red/black int. bought it last August with only 1233 miles, no joke, the thing was like brand new and still smells new on the inside. I'm like you when I get around to learning the posting pics deal I will, the yellow does look awsome I must say!

Nice looking Z06 Erik, welcome to the forum. Mine had even fewer miles when I purchased it. Nothing like a 10 year old "new" car. I still grin every time I fire up my Z.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Hopefully the weather starts to change here in PA, so that I can get out and enjoy the car!

I really wanted MY and it was certainly tough to find, but it was ironic that after months of searching I found the car 15 miles from my house.

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but if there are any events or meets in the SE PA area let me know.

You got lucky finding one so close. Check out the northeast section for events in this area. Spring will be here soon!

Great looking car. Everyone knows that yellow is the fastest. (That's why GM painted the C5Rs yellow.) I had to go all the way to NYC to pick up mine a couple of years ago but it's been great ever since.
