Looks awesome! I, too, am a first time Vette owner and the smile never leaves my face after a fun ride! Never knew that there was so much more to Vette ownership than the car itself. Get used to people coming up to you to talk cars!

I used several different search engines, and my personal favorite was Autolist
They have an app available for iPhone (Android too maybe...?), and I set up a few searches that sent me notifications as soon as new vehicles popped up.
I used a rather large radius (~300 miles), as I was willing to travel to get the right car. The dealer I bought the car from in Emporia, VA would have delivered the car to me for free, but there was no way I was going to miss out on the experience of driving my first Vette off the lot.
When I told the guys at Enterprise I was taking a one-way rental car to pick up my first ever Vette, they knocked off the 'drop charge' normally imposed on one way car rentals.
Very cool of them to do that.

My first Corvette
You will always have a grin as long as you have a Vette, regardless of (or in addition to) what else is happening in your life.
