Default New Vette owner

It was a long time coming but I finally got myself a 2005 Magnetic Red convertible base model with 15k miles. Owned a Saturn Sky and before that a '68 Chevelle. Put new Michelin's on it and found out it needs a front left wheel(chrome). Ordered from Wheelhouse today.

Put about 300 miles on so far and not missing the Sky very much. However I gotta say that my Sky did handle better in the tight turns. (Bet that gets some response.)

I'm in Central Pennsylvania(Elizabethtown) and this year I'll have my own Vette to go to the Carlisle Show this fall.

Looking forward to meeting some you fellow owners and absorbing some of the helpful info in this forum.
