Well I been lurking around a long time, Finally picked up my first Corvette on Saturday! Then it proceeded to snow on Sunday (in Dallas Tx.) and has been cold and miserable ever since!! So the enjoyment will have to wait for slightly better weather. It's a Brand Used 2008 3LT auto with Magnetic ride and NPP Exhaust, just 11,500 on the clock.

Default Congrats!

I just got my C-5 the week of x-mas. I have been looking for one at the right price for a long time. It's one of my 3 toys. I live near Wichita Falls, TX. No real snow here. Start driving that vette! Don't make it a garage queen. They are so much fun to drive! Enjoy!
