Never thought i'd be here
4 years ago i joined the forum after a co-worker got me interested in Vettes. I quickly discarded the idea of owning a corvette as just a pipedream. But i have the bug and was determined to own one sooner rather than later. This week i will fly to Dallas and drive my first corvette home! I have bought an '05 blue (important) manual (important) vette! Has the navigation system and also a little high on the miles, but seems to be in great shape. Very excited here! Thank you corvette family for the inspiration, i look forward to being a part of this journey.

My car has plenty of miles on it also... fine by me, all the bugs have been worked out...
And asking a corvette owner how many miles is like asking a lady how much she weighs... you just don't do it!
Enjoy your new car and welcome!
