Default Finally back in a Vette..

Hey everyone.

I have been a member on here for years. I've had a 03 Z06 and a 07 C6 in years past. Then got married , kid one was on the way and I sold my vette and ordered a new crew cab Sierra.


Anyways, fast forward to present day, I picked up an 03 coupe car last Tuesday. Super stoked to be back in one, its a 105k mi 3 owner car. Super clean, black leather with a 6speed. The best part of this one is that I get to share it with my boys. One is almost 5 and the other is 3 months ( he has a little ways to go before he can ride )

Anyways, glad to be back apart of the fold nonetheless.

Heres a few pics..

I got mine a couple months after my second kid was born. They think it's cool. Main difference... 2 girls. Congrats, enjoy it.

Good buy, thanks for the reminder that I could miss one of my American muscle cars, if I chose to sell and then regret. You came back home, good to have you again.

It's hard to keep that corvette fever away once you've had one. Congrats and have fun!

I have 9 and 6 year old boys. They love going for rides. I put them in booster/car seats. I'm Michigan it's legal if there's no rear seat and the passenger air bag can be turned off. Gotta keep this next generation excited about driving. And with a third pedal!

I recently returned after about a 10 year hiatus, but mine was mostly due to my daughter's college and grad school expenses. The things we do for the kids!!

Anyway, congratulations and welcome back!!

Nice!!! I love the smile on your boy's face. My son didn't really care when I brought mine home. Then I took him for his first ride...."Dad, this is more fun than six flags!"

Congrats! The saying "once a vette owner, always a vette owner" is pretty accurate. I was stoked when I got my first Corvette 4 years ago(1994 C4), kept it 2 years and bought a BMW that ended up being junk. The whole time I had the bimmer I was looking at C5's, and then I bought one lol.
