Default new vette owner
greetings to all. nice site and a very helpful group of ppl. I have always dreamed of owning a vette but with a family and raising kids it was just not practical. well.. just had the opportunity to ****** up a very low mileage 05 and I pulled the trigger. needless to say I am stoked. I finally get to experience what most of you already know... that corvetts are in a class of their own.

Welcome to the club! In case you haven't already learned, you MUST wave at all Corvettes that you see on the road.

thanks to all for the warm welcomes. I will get some pics up to satisfy the pics criteria but my base model doesn't even compare to most of the pics I've seen posted on this site. there are some wicked pics and mods posted here. I now see why most ppl that drive these cars are in a class by themselves... they rich! lol

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your 'Vette! You have the right to be stoked! How did the first drive feel for you?
