Default My first vette!

New to the forum and have already been helped out by a few of ya'll! Thanks for makign me feel at home already, this is my first vette. Here's a pic of her as I was driving her home after buying Just cleaned her today and will have better pics tomorrow! She's an 03 and already has tons of mods: Cammed, full exhaust (longtubes, no cats, bossini exhaust, e-cutouts), arp head studs, heads, ls6 intake, and more that I'm probably forgetting.

It was great! I flew down to pick her up, drove her 550 miles home. Needless to say I was able to learn the car inside and out on the drive home
