Default New Vette Owner!

Hello All!

After many years and modding all kinds of cars, I've come to the realization that I should just strive to get the dream car that I've wanted as a kid.

My wife found our new addition. 2008 White on black/red 6 speed manual.

Completely stock, 33k miles. She drives like a dream

I look forward to meeting new friends and gaining the knowledge I need/want to make this journey the best that I can.
