I have been reading this forum for a while now but this is my first post.
I have been wanting a vette for many years and after reading about everyone's love for theirs on here I finally bit the bullet and bought an '05 coupe with 39,000 miles and love it. Found it online and drove to Florida wrote the check and have been loving it since. Good to be a part of this group!!

Congrats on the vette. It looks to be magnetic red which was an 05 only color. Great color, I loved it on my 05.
