Default Finally Got A VETTE!!!!

Well after dreaming of owning a Corvette I finally took possession of a Metallic Purple /Grey Interior 6 speed Coupe. Only has a couple of issues, but the car drives like a dream. Does anyone else go and stare at their car in the garage. It was sitting for two years and it was covered in leaves but I spent four days cleaning and waxing and it looks 100 % better now.

Looks good Schmoo. Is that color called "Dusty Rose" or something else. I can't remember.
