Default First Vette
Just bought my first Vette. It's a used one of course. It's a 2005 C6. Wow what a feeling when you step it down. I also own a 56 Chevy. I'm guessing that will get pretty lonely now.

Congratulations! Its great to have the opportunity to appreciate both old and new. It can be hard to divide the time, but you have to try.
