Default New Corvette Owner

I just bought my first vette - a 2000 Arctic White convertible with a 6-speed manual transmission. I have found the forum useful as I was researching my purchase and buying some cosmetic pieces I have added so far.

Thanks for the great information and I hope I can add something to the forum in the future.

Although I live in Georgia, as you can tell from my license plate I am a diehard Nebraska Husker fan!

Congrats on the Vette! I usually don't go for white on cars, but on the C5 it is beautiful.

As a member of the Vette brotherhood, we will forgive you your football shortcomings...

Thanks - where in Nebraska are you from? I am from Omaha, but have been around most of the state for business before I moved.

I agree GBR!
