Default first vette

After all these years of loving the car hobby, with many different cars, this is my first Corvette. The car is an '04 C5. The car has the stock
LS1, auto, with most of the options. The car has a couple of custom touches with a Carbon Fiber Hood, and LT1 Wheels. From what I am told, it is a fairly rare color, dark grey metallic. I am looking forward to learning more about the car. Great to be here!!
