Default Surprise Birthday Present

Hi All! This was my surprise birthday present last week. No more minivan days for me! I am so glad to have found this forum. Thanks for all the great information to help us "newbies".

Wow, it doesnt get any better than that. Er.. I think.


edit... hehe there was nothing there, not even text when I first posted. Im assuming that the white vert would be the Bday present. Classic colors. I still havent seen a white Vette in person but Im thinking it probably brings out the lines like the silver? Congrats.

Happy Birthday, I guess since no more mini van, you wont be going grocery shopping any more. You know it is against Forum rules to park a C6 unattended in a public parking lot.......

We use to own a white w/ candy apple red interior '76 T-top. I cried when we sold it in '80 after kids started coming along. My husband promised I'd have one again someday. It took 25 years for that day to come. Went to surprise birthday dinner in a limo, then to our office parking lot. I was handed a box that contained the key. I still didn't "get it" until I got out of the limo, and saw the big red bow on the roof. Is he a great husband or what?

I've been reading my manual, watched the DVD, and learning all that I can here on the forum. I'm memorizing the commandments. May I prove worthy!
