Default Just bought a Vette!

Hi Everyone!

After years of dreaming, I finally bought a C6 today, so here I am!
I'm looking forward to learning more about Corvettes with all of you!

A glass Targa has been lerking in the back of my mind. I'm thinking between this new toy and the Harleys I'm fixing to have to be careful or very covert.

Congrats on the new car.
