Default My first Corvette!

Happy 4th of July! Here are some pics I took this morning of my new Z06. After dreaming of owning a 'vette for 30 years, I was finally able to pull the trigger. And I couldn't be more pleased with this ride!

I recently had the Arctic White covered in Xpel Stealth which gives it a really nice satin look.

I hope you enjoy the pics!

Thanks. I was beginning to think I was a bit of an odd ball with my Arctic White/Kalahari combo being that all I've seen with the white is the red or black interior. Good to see others have such fine taste!

Love the Kalahari interior. Looks great with almost any color, but especially so with black or white.

Congratulations on becoming part of the Corvette "family"!
