Default Picked up my first Vette!!!


After 39 years of waiting, I finally became a Corvette owner this weekend! Picked up a 2011 GS 3LT M6 with only 5,300 miles on it! Flew from Tampa to DC and drove it home from MD. The previous owner had already done a K&N CAI and mild to wild, and I put a set of Kooks and HP Tuners on order before I even picked up the car 😎 Cam will be next once my bank account recovers! Loving every second of driving this car!

Nice ride. Why does it have caliper covers? You must get rid of them asap.
