Default First Corvette
Picked up my first Corvette (2010 Black 3LT Coupe) on Saturday and, after driving it home, just confirmed all the reasons I have wanted one for a long time. Additionally, in reading this board, it is obvious that there is a connection between Vette owners that I, as a "layman", was unaware of. I'm glad to have a chance to be a part of something positive like that. Oh, and the car is outrageous too.
