My first Vette
Hi all, we just brought home an '07 coupe in black on black yesterday; my first. I almost bought a 62 back when it was just a used car, but it was a roadster, with no top, and I lived in Spokane. Well, there was also the matter of the salesman not letting me drive the car. I went down the street and bought a used '69 Camaro SS instead; again, just a used car
I still have that car.
Anyway.....
We got several options, such as polished wheels, the navigation system with XM, the drilled brakes and magnetic shocks (although I also supposedly have the "something-51" package which should have different shocks). I'll post the pics I took today as soon as I can figure out the forum rules to do so. I don't host anything on "other" sites, so that may not work.
We also have a rock crawler Jeep, and an Advantage boat. We traded off our supercharged MINI Cooper for the 'Vette, and after one day I can say it was a monumental trade up. Oh, and my wife drives a Torch Red '02 retro Thunderbird.
