Default Finally got a C6

Hows it going guys & gals? So my dream finally came true and I got an 06 vette. I am so stoked. I have owned a few F-bodys and most recently an 04 GTO. Went to the local dealer and they gave me a smokin offer on my GTO trade in so I finally took the plunge. I lucked out and found one with a wide body kit already installed and the staggered wheels. The only thing frustrating so far is peoples reactions to me or my wife owning the car. I am 24 and she is 23 and everyone assumes it is our parents or we are spoiled rich kids. We both have good jobs and have been working hard to afford it. No kids = we get to have some fun right? anyways here is a few pics of it and one with my wife, let me know what you think.

I see you wife did not come with the wide body option. She clearly deserves a Vette. The guilt of ownership (the car) may come and go but gets better over time.

Great color! Mine is yellow too. Don't worry about what other people think about you and your wife diving your Corvette, just enjoy it. Everyone assumes that my husband is the primary driver of mine. He does drive it too but not as often as I do.
