Default Finally got my Corvette!

Ever since I was a kid, I always loved Corvettes. I still remember in detail when a family friend took 6 year old me for a ride in a C3. That car was so unique it really made a lasting impression on me.

So last week after a lot of research (and this forum is a great resource!), I finally drove home with my very own 2010 Grand Sport Convertible.

I'm ecstatic about this car. It is such a blast to drive in the mountain back roads. I was debating whether to get a Z06 or GS, but I'm really pleased that I went with the convertible.

Wish me luck!

Default Congrats!

I finally pulled the trigger about 3 months ago after a long-time internal debate about "should I do this?"... picked up my Vert and haven't stopped grinning yet!

You have a beauty! Enjoy!!

That's a beauty! They were meant to be driven, so get out there, and put some miles on it!

I know what you mean. I'm actually considering putting Stabil in the gas tank of my WRX over the summer since it will be sitting in the garage while I'll be driving the Corvette so much.

What a car!! You did well. Seeing those pictures sorta makes me wish mine was a convertible. May you enjoy many, many wonderful miles. With the top down of course.
