Default Long-time lover, new-time owner!

Hey all! I'm glad to be a part of this great community...I've learned so much already. I finally realized a life-long dream and bought a Corvette. A Torch Red on Black 2000 Coupe is now proudly residing in my garage. I've always loved them from afar, and now I'm completely infatuated up close! I can't wait to put some personal touches on it! I'm in Heaven

Thank you all for the warm, smokin' tires welcome! I agree, the black interior is a pain to keep clean ...especially every little, tiny piece of lint...but yeah, it looks sooooo good when it's done right

Thanks for the welcome, Lady K! My next order of business is to get my windows tinted...the summer's coming quickly and the Florida sun is brutal! What percentage tint is yours? I like how it looks with the Torch
