Default Reflecting on a good year

Happy New Year everyone. Thanks to all of you for the advice that led me to the 2003 coupe that I bought in 2015 after more than a year of serious searching. I can't wait for spring and summer weather (along with a new set of tires) to really experience this car. Until then, I'll enjoy moments like this afternoon, when a dry winter day in Seattle was the perfect reason to get the Vette out for a few photos in the fading sunlight. All the best to you for a great 2016.

Happy new year back at ya! I also had a great 15', got my first C5 and love it. My health held up pretty good and I live in an absolutely beautiful state right next a really big lake! Hope your 2016 is full of smiles and miles in that beautiful black Vette! Mike

Happy New Year!

Congrats on your new vette! Did you say it's an '06? Looks like a C5 to me.

Oops. It's an '03. Thanks for catching that.
