I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. Mother's Day weekend I bought my first Corvette, a 2003 Coupe (Millenium Yellow) with 25,000 original miles. Since it's introduction I've always wanted a C5, and more importantly, wanted a Corvette for as long as I can remember.

I also did the unthinkable and purchased an automatic, a 6-speed was my dream, but my wife refuses to drive a manual (we all have to compromise sometimes to get what we want). Regardless, it's a great drive and I look forward to many years of enjoyment.

So far, the experience has been terrific and I am excited to join the Corvette family.

Here's a few pictures from the day I picked it up:
