Default My First Vette

Hello Everyone,

My name is Dan and I'm from Florida (Clearwater Area). I looked months and months to find the exact car I was looking for and that patience paid off. It's an 08 Jetstream Blue with the 3LT & Z51 packages. Only had 9,971 miles on it. So far my only upgrade was a Corsa Xtreme, which I love by the way.

Looking forward to getting a lot of good info from the board!

First thing most people say is "Wow, I love that color!" But the best response yet was when I brought it home the first time and some kids were playing in their yard & when I drove by one kid turned around & said, "Whoa, look at that Vette!"
