Default First time Vette Owner

I don't know why I waited so long, but just bought my '07 Vette a couple weeks ago. I've wanted a yellow drop top for quite some time and finally said "don't wait any longer". After I bought the car I immediately starting reading the forum and found a lot of useful information, even made a few friends. It only took a week to take my car to the Birmingham 'Cars & Coffee' and thinking about a local car show in a few weeks. And I was just planning on buying a car, now I'm looking at several options for mods.

I'm live in Birmingham, AL and will start looking for local Vette groups to get involved with. If anybody is from the area it would be great to hear from you.

Anyway, look forward to learning more about the car, care and performance thoughts on the forum.

Jim

Yellow is a really great color on a Vette. I miss my yellow 2001. Best of luck on the new toy!
