Default Newbie from the Texas Panhandle

Hello Everyone from the Top of Texas! New Corvette owner checking in and thanking everyone who has previously posted regarding the C6. I made extensive use of this forum when doing research prior to purchasing my first Corvette over the past couple of months. Ended up doing a fly-and-drive to Houston to take possession of a 2005 Red C6 Coupe with Z51 option and a full Borla exhaust. Love the exhaust note between 4-6k rpm! Plan to pretty much keep her stock (other than the aforementioned exhaust). Love the handling and horsepower. Great car!

I actually picked the car up in Houston. Had a 620 mile test drive home! Not a lot of pics to show yet, but here's a couple:

Waving will be no problem. As a long-time motorcyclist I have a long waved to fellow motorcyclists.
