Default Got my 1st vette!

Hello all. Just got my first Corvette so I'd thought I'd join and say hi. 1995 with 69000 miles. Needs a few things as with most older cars but should be a lot a fun.

Congrats. You'll love your (first) Corvette. It's not quite like your first love, but in the scheme of things you'll find it's "Up there". I'm new here too, and have found the folks here to be awesome.

Thanks for the warm welcome. not too bad for a 21 year old car. Going to do the front rotors and brakes tomorrow and then go for a spin with the wife. She digs it.

Looks much better since I waxed it. Been cleaning it all weekend. I got it from the second owner and he has had it since 1997. Seats have seen better days but the rest of the car is in really good conditioner. Pretty stoked about it. I've been pricing upholstery. Pretty expensive for just two seats. part of the package I guess. Love the car.
