Welcome to the club. I am sure you will enjoy it. I am on my 6th now. Started in '68 with a '66 BB 427/425 roadster.

I have wanted a vette since I was old enough to to drive. I have had Jeeps and trucks for years and this is my first chance (now that kids are grown) to get one.

Jwt5, nice Vette! Post more pics when you get a chance. I can relate, I too just bought my first Vette after years of Jeeps and trucks. Welcome to the club, it's an addiction similar to Jeeps. I just wish we had the Corvette wave!

I have had some people already do a “vette wave”. Similar to the “Jeep wave”. Is a vette wave a thing?

Welcome and congrats.
Hope your 07 will be as reliable and as much fun as my 227,000 mile 07 has been.



Really like your color.

Congrats on the new ownership!

I bought my first one last year (the C4 in the avatar) and bought the C6 a couple of weeks ago.
Careful, you'll end up like me in the poorhouse, yet with lots of vettes!

Which aint necessarily a bad thing, mind ya.
