Default Finally Got A Vette!!

Hi! I just brought home my first Corvette yesterday! She is an Atomic Orange M6 Coupe. Owning a 'Vette has been my dream since I was just a kid, so I'm in hog heaven right now. I hope to make some good friends and learn a lot on this forum. Here's my new baby, next to my trade-in!!

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

William, so far I haven't had a chance to drive her much. Aside from my test drive and the drive home from the dealer, I really only took her out on a ride up the mountain with my wife the other night. Now the weather is turning bad, so the rest of the week looks like garage time. Hopefully, this weekend will be nice driving weather!!

Well let us know how it goes when you have more opportunities to get behind the wheel.
