Default Finally back

I am officially back among the ranks of Corvette owners. Yesterday afternoon I purchased a '07, 3LT, convertible in Monterey red with a cashmere interior and beige top. Unfortunately, I was not able to bring her home because of only 1 driver and two vehicles; so, the dealership is having her delivered Monday. Which gives me time to get her room cleaned and ready. I am looking forward to our first few romps down the road to get the seat adjusted to my liking and then the many road trips I have planned. I am also making plans to have her HB & power steering hose changed before it is time to put her to bed for the winter. In the spring I will get her a new pair of shoes ( not that she needs them, more peace of mind) to ensure she is ready for the 2022 season . But for now I am basking in the reality of being back among my fellow owners again.
P.S. I'll post a pic or two once she is home.

It's an exciting experience getting a Corvette again! Just about 4 years ago after waiting 50 years, I finally got my second vette, very similar to yours. I hope you enjoy yours as much I have so far! Welcome back!
