First Corvette
Greetings from the St. Louis area.
Last weekend I took delivery of my first Corvette...it's a Victory Red '05.
I've wanted to have a Corvette since I was a kid. Now that we are empty nesters and the dog died I decided to go for it.
Good fun.

Thank you for the welcoming comments.
Yes, I realize that there is a lot to learn and I look forward to the challenge.
It looks like this adventure is going to be a lot more than just the purchase of "another car".
