My first VETTE!!!
I just picked up my very first Corvette EVER yesterday and I can't stop staring @ it!!! 
It's a 2001 MY 6sp Coupe fully loaded. This has been my DREAM car since I was in high school, and now that I've graduated and gotten a job, I can FINALLY afford one. 
Here's some pics:
I absolutely LOVE this car and can't get enough of it. Any tips/ suggestions for a first-time vette owner? Thanks

Very nice! I'm hoping to post similar pics by next weekend myself! I've been waiting on a black 97 coupe that is coming into Canada via a Florida auction, and am just waiting for customs to clear the car so that the used car dealer can sell it to me.
I too have wanted a C5 for a very long time, it's all I can think about! I love seeing others getting theirs for the first time too, and can't wait to be in the same boat!

Looks very clean (and you better keep it that way ;P )
Any plans for mods?
Have fun and baby it like it's your child!

Welcome! Looks like you picked the best color too. Be careful hanging out here though. I bought my MY Vette a few months ago and thanks to these derelects on CF my 4 month old exhaust is now sitting on the shop floor. Very few that hang around here can resist tweaking after a short while.
