Picked up my 1st Corvette
Purchased my 1st on New Years Eve. Not a bad way to start off the New Year!!! 
I held out for all the goodies... Here are the Specs: Sebring Silver, 6-Speed Coup, Glass roof, Z51, Sport Buckets, HUD, Brand New Bridgestone Potenza SO3 Pole Postions Tires, Dual Power & Memory Seats, Electric Dual Zone Climate Control, ETC. 
I've been lurking around the forum for a few months but it is nice to finally join the family!

) and sneaking a peek on your way to bed. You'll find you can identify an oncoming vette from 1/2 mile merely by the distinctive look of the DRL's. I could go on but I'll let you find out the rest by yourself.Congrats and best of luck with the new ride. And, oh yes, you will be bitten by the Mod bug. Maybe not now, or next week, but sooner or later you will give in. And when you do, we will be here to talk you through it.

Congrats on the New Year's purchase! Harley riders have a saying which I'll usurp for Corvettes --
"You never really buy a Corvette, you just make a BIG downpayment on MODS...."
Happy driving and modding!
