Hello from Austin, TX...
I bought my first Vette 2 weeks ago.
It's a 2007 6-speed manual, LeMans Blue Metallic Z-51, with 2LT option and Titanium Grey leather. I just got past the 500 mile break-in today. It's great.
My previous cars of note: a yellow 1995 Mustang GT , a black 2000 Formula Firehawk, and a Brazen Orange Metallic 2006 GTO (all manuals). Yep, after less than a year, I traded the GTO for the Vette. The GTO is a great car, but I always wanted the Vette and should've just bought it last year in the first place.
Nice to meet you.
