My First Vette: Alaska
Hey All!
Just bought my first Vette. I am super excited to be part of this community. Bought a 2008 C6 LT2 Z51 Coupe. This thing is absolutely beautiful and I couldn't beat the deal with a stick. The only thing that is unfortunate about it is that it can only be driven maybe 5 months out of the year up here in Alaska...

Welcome & congrats! 
My wife and I will be up there next May for another visit. We just love Alaska and would live there if you could find a way to warm up the winters a bit, lol.

Thanks for the Warm Welcome. Its been just about a week with the new car and I can honestly say it has impressed me. Its a real joy to drive. You can drive it like a normal car but you drop a gear and give it the beans and it sure does go!
About the only complaint I have is in regards to the Alaskan highways.... They have horrible ruts in turn makes the drive a little more difficult than in your average car since these are so wide and have wide tires.
