Default New Corvette Owner

Hello everyone, just bought my first corvette. A 2003 50th in Torch Red. This thing looks like a new car on the inside and out still has the new car smell and only 19,600 original miles. It just took me 61 years to get it. But Im gonna enjoy every minute driving it . Thanks Again

Hi. I am a new owner of a 1998 Torch Red with a light oak interior and convertible top. It has only taken me about one month to finally realize I am not dreaming. The car has 48,000 mi and is spotless. I hope to be able to enjoy it and learn about it from all of the knowledgable members here.
