Default Finally!

Hello All. I have loved Corvettes since the first time I saw a C3 when I was around 8 or 9 years old. Of course, when I learned to drive, they were out of my reach financially. Family needs kept me in cars with back seats. Now that the kids are out of the house, I have finally fulfilled my dream and picked up a lightly used 2005 C6. The only pic I have is the dealer pic but will post a few more when I get her to the way I want.

Can't wait to get to know all of you and join my local club!
