Default My Vette

Finally got around to taking a few photos of the 97 Vette I bought this past summer. For a 16 year old car I think she looks great.

Fall is my favorite time of year in New England, there was a better back drop down the road but there was an outdoor wedding going on and I don't think they would appreciate it if I parked the Vett there and started taking pictures.

When I purchased the car the original owner had replaced the factory wheels with cheep aftermarket wheels and put the factory wheels in storage for 12 years. I took them out of the box, spit shined them and low and behold they were in good condition. The entire car only has 62,000 miles on it as well.
