Welcome and congrats on getting your first Corvette. The '94 Black Rose Metallic color was beautiful - I had one in that color.
Hope you enjoy your new ride and it gives you many miles of trouble free driving.

I think you will find (as I have) that getting behind the wheel of your vette will make you think you are 18 again. Just a press of the accelerator away...enjoy.
