Just got a vette
Been a member on this forum for a while but I finally got myself a corvette. Was really wanting an 02 electron blue coupe but was having alotta trouble getting the loan for it and ended up buying a 2011 zx-10r instead. Just recently seen a 2001 black z06 at a stealership so gave it a shot and I got a loan somehow with a loan on my bike aswell!
I really do love this car only a few minor complaints and they are just **** ill get used to. Biggest annoyance would have to be the shifter is so high up.
The car is BONE stock, only mod is shift **** and tinted windows that I can see. 107k clean as hell. So even tho I overpaid a little I hope it is all good to go and not been beat to hell and back. Hoping to get some louder exhaust once I replenish my money.
A few little minor issues with the car itself, it actually broke down within 12 hours of me owning it and most of that was sleeping/work and less than 80 miles. Hose for the slave cylinder on the clutch busted but thank god the dealership is fixing it at no cost to me so I am very thankful for that, and feel bad about it at the same time. Should be back up and running friday!
Now I just have to explain the practicality of owning a 01 z06 at the age of 21 to my dad cause I know he will bitch about it lol. Along with a sportbike. But I can get grocery's have a passenger, no worries of back seat distractions! What more practicality could one ask for.
Here is the only picture I have, I will get more when I get the car back.

I cant drive it yet it's still broken! </3 lol but I hope tomorrow night I can drive it! I'll get some pics of the bike and the vette when I get it back.
Gunna take a look around see if anything is aftermarket, pretty sure all stock =/ So first thing is ill probably camp the forum for some b&b bullets or something. Then when I sell my exhaust I wont be out much money. Then I don't think ill do anything else to the car as I got my bike for speed and the car will never compare to that lol.

Here's one with my 2011 zx-10r but it's pretty dark =/
Here's some of the bike. The good quality pic is older and the crappy one is recent with a few mods.
