Default Bought my first vette

Thought I would say hello. Picked up a 2011 cyber grey coupe last week. If it ever stops snowing here I may even get to drive it (Im outside Buffalo NY) .

No pics yet, it literally snowed 6 inches two days after I picked it up, so I only drove it a little bit when the weather was nice. Of course the second day I had it it got egged....

Congrats! I made the same leap myself recently. At least, your car is sitting in your garage and not somewhere in the country trying to find its way to you. I think you made an excellent choice in color and model!

Cyber Grey, IMO, is the most beautiful color on a vette!

Congratulations! But I would suggest getting out of Buffalo as soon as you can....Corvettes love Florida roads and you get to use them all year!

Congrats and enjoy!

You are in for a thrill of a life time.

Sounds like Cyber Gray will become an availability issue, great timing on your part.

Welcome to the forums! I'll never look at another car after buying my vette and to the haters that egged your vette, just smoke the tires in their face next time.

Have fun!!!

excellent choice of color and model, you just can not beat a coupe as far as looks. I have the corvette coupe/cyber gray with z51 in the 09.

I found out later the egging was just bad timing. I parked at a corner store that a friend of mine owns and went to a bar accross the street. There were a few kids skateboarding there but i figured it was ok. What I didnt know was that the store owner had just thrown out a few dozen eggs that had been sitting around the store too long.....
