Default My First corvette!!
Just recently picked up my first corvette, a 2001 torch red Z06 with 90k and completely stock down to the paper filter. Been saving since i turned 16 (22 now) and finally had the guts to sell my LS swapped 97 z28 and pick up my first car payment. Man this car is amazing!
