Default 1st Corvette

After looking for over a year I finally found what I was looking for. Recently purchased a 2002 Corvette Convertible, automatic. This was a garaged Vette that the previous owner never drove in the rain and had an indoor cover while garaged.

36,000 miles and the vehicle has 1 week old tires. Top looks better than new. Was a recent trade at the dealership I work at. The seller purchased a pre owned '14 Corvette.

Never ever drive in the rain. They will dissolve.

See picture below of someone who let their Vette sit in a pouring rain.







In all seriousness, Congrats and welcome to the Corvette family.

Welcome to the club.. I'm in Stuart as well and will keep an eye out for you. Your white vert was my first choice but I settled on silver.
