Bought our first Corvette

My wife and I just bought our first Corvette and it is a 2007 LeMans Blue Z06. It is unbelievable. We picked it up and drove it home 1400 miles. What a wonderful time in a car. What I really like was 1400 miles at 75mph and 25mpg. What a cool car. Unfortunately I am not allowed to post pictures.

I wish I knew. Maybe I am just screwing something up on my User CP. I thought it was suppose to show you "Manage Attachments" in the additional options and I do not have that option. I just assumed I had not crossed some threshold of # of posts to allow me to post pictures. I have not had this problem on any other forum so I do not think it is a browser issue.

Ding,Ding,Ding,Ding,Ding,Ding,Ding. We have a winner!! Anyone that purchases a LeMans Blues Z06 has clearly set themselfs apart, Into a special group of Vette owners. Which I want to say is Appx.1600 cars strong, give or take. Less wrecks of course.When you go out among the other Vette brothers & sisters don't worry about how distant they become. Thier just JEALOUS!!! Welcome aboard & Congrats............

I like that you said "my wife and I" purchased our first Corvette, some wifes think a Corvette is just a "Big Boys Toy" and don't want to be part of the enjoyment. But ... my question to you, did your wife let you drive any of the 1400 miles home.

Congrats !!!!! to both of you
