New guy in Texas

Hey all,

Bought a nice 2000 Silver 6spd 'vert last weekend. No buyers remorse here. Has 60k miles and is near perfect. Only had 5600 miles on it in 07. Has black Z06 style wheels with Kumho Excsta's and some crazy exhaust that has small mufflers right in front of the tips. Ive not seen any online like them to identify make.

Gonna go lurk and learn now.

I ordered a nice cover for it and some Lloyds mats as one was missing. Also a white shift **** as it had one of those Gripper ***** that I didnt like.

And the Hurst **** just came in and is installed.

Welcome from Louisiana

You did a great job in picking the vette out - Outstanding, I know you will enjoy. What part of Texas are you from?

Fort Worth here!

Right now, besides an old 27 Ford rod, this Vette is my daily driver. It killed me to see it get rained on yesterday.

But as another forum member said, I bought it to DRIVE, not look at. So drive it I do!
