I live in Northern VA and I just bought my first ‘vette this week. She is a new ’06 silver convertible and I love her so already. I just got her tinted yesterday.

I am really enjoying this forum. Thanks for all the great advice. I am enjoying the wave and am grinning the entire time I am driving her. Will the constant fast heartbeat as I drive stay around for long?

Welcome to the forum. As stated, the heartbeat will come under controllable, however, the grin you mentioned is sometimes referred to as "perma-grin".
