My first lady
Hello to everyone. My name is Josh and I just picked up my first Vette. I have dreamed about owning a Corvette with pop-up headlights since I was old enough to notice cars. There's something abou the C5 body style and those curves that makes me shiver. That being said, I found exactly what I have been wanting for all of these years, and now that I have a "big boy job," I was able to go pick her up. She's an '03 Z06 in Torch Red with the Mod red interior and she's gorgeous (in my humble opinion). I picked her up in the San Jose, CA area. I have owned and purchased quite a few vehicles but I have never seen an owner so sad to give up a title. I thought that he was going to cry and his hand was shaking the whole time that he was signing over the car. Now that I have her, I know why. She's just the right amount of beauty and brawn all in one package.
I feel that you can find out a lot about what a person's like by the cars that they drive, so below I have listed my history.
My past vehicles have been (in order):
88 IROC-Z Camaro - Stolen/Stripped/Totaled/Engine blow-out (God took him)
87 Pontiac Fiero - Engine Blew/Crazy electrical problems
95 Eagle Talon - Head Gasket
92 Mitsubishi Eclipse - Transmission gave out
94 LT-1 Firebird - Fully built engine
06 BMW 325i (Current) - Beautiful dark green, the wife's now that I have the Vette
99 Chevy Silverado (Current) - Daily driver
68 Pontiac Firebird (Current) - Just picked it up as a project car from my wife's father
03 Chevy Corvette Z06 (Current) - The new lady in my life, garage queen
... a grocery list of love... lol.
I look forward to chatting with everyone in here and if there's anyone from Nor Cal that likes to ride, shoot me a line. I have a few pics in the album in my profile. Check it out and let me know what you think. Suggestions for mods are very welcome.
Thanks all,
