Default B's Vette

Hello everyone! Newbie here. I just got my LS3 C6 Velocity Yellow Vette. New to me. My husband got it for me for Mothers Day! Yup and he is now off the hook for having me trade my Camaro in. Long story short, He got a C4 after I got my Camaro an said we don't need two sports cars. Well like the great wife I am said ok. I went from a V8 to a 4 cylinder. Drove my soccer mom car but wasn't happy. Well was not long after i got my soccer mom car he traded his vette for a truck do to work issues! yup I was upset now.He said every time we were together in the car he'd see my heart break at all Camaros that went by. Well little that I knew he was on the computer looking for another yellow color car for me. Never did I ever think it would be my own Vette, or a Beautiful yellow Vette for that matter. So today this gal is happy as ever and now the husband is off the hook. Now I truly see why all men love there cars, cause I Love mine for sure. I don't even miss the Camaro any more cause this is the one for me. Also glad to be on board.
