Default I did it!!!!
I bought my first Corvette today. It's a 2000 Base, Yellow, Auto (I'm old). I had a 2 hour drive to pick it up and had a brutal ride home in rain. The car has just over 90K on it. I think I got it for a pretty good price. It's going to need a few things, as to be expected.

Welcome! Ha, I hope you like washing cars a lot. I've found mine collects and shows dirt pretty easily. It's a cool color though

Welcome!
Consider driving it rather than throwing money at aftermarket "improvements". You won't be sorry.
