Default OMG, my 1st Corvette!

Yesterday my wife and I bought our first Corvette!!

We've loved them ever since we were kids (she's 29, I'm 31), and finally decided to go ahead and buy one. I've been getting by with a bolt-on modded convertible LT1 Camaro ... but no more baby! We are totally excited. We got a '09 coupe, Z51, 3LT, M6, dual mode exhaust, atomic orange w/ ebony interior. OMG I can't wait.

The order goes in tomorrow and the waiting begins. I only hope we get it in time to put some break in miles on it before winter (I live in St Louis).

Anyway, glad to be a new member here and I hope to get to know you all, maybe meet up for cruises or something, and mostly just enjoy being a member of the Vette family.

Welcome aboard.

I ordered our ride in October of 2007 from the dealership I work for. The car arrived in February 2008. You're going to realy enjoy the car.

Hopefully you'll have it before Christmas!
