First Post - First Vette - Thanks
I would first like to thank all of the forum members for the knowledge that is so readily shared on this forum. I have always wanted a corvette and have eagerly looked for the past two years. About 2 1/2 months ago, I was close to buying one and a little hurricane named Rita invaded my small SW Louisiana town. My family and I have recovered and my wife bought me a 2006 Silver 3LT/NAV/A6 this past Saturday for my 31st birthday. I drove it home today and I absolutely love the car - Well worth the wait!

Nice wife
I have your twin (minus the Navigation).
Good Choice, Silver, the Classy Choice!
Glad to hear you have recovered from the Hurricane.
