Default New C5s

I picked up my first Corvette last week, a 2002 Convertible. Here's a picture of me and my dad with it. I think he was more excited about it than I was. In fact, he liked it so much he decided to get one too (with a little prompting from me), a 2001 Z06. What amazing cars. Oh, and growing up I never had a manual transmission car and my Vett is an automatic. So, I'll be learning on my dad's Z06!

Very cool and congrats to both of you. These cars can do just amazing things.

If you two ever bumped 'em together, the paint transfer would be GREEN!!

Super nice!!

Wish my dad was still alive so we could enjoy Vettes and Bikes.

Dad worked for GM and had many great demos, including a nice 80 Turbocharged Trans AM in Black.

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the compliments and well wishes. It is going to be a really nice thing to enjoy together. I already put 600 miles on mine and love it. I just regret not getting one sooner.
