Howdy!
Hey everyone, recently picked up my first Corvette! That makes it my 10th car and 14th vehicle in my 9 years of licensed driving...maybe I should stop counting. Before anyone asks, I've only been in one accident at no fault of my own 
Anyway she's certainly no show stopper but clean enough to be seen in! I think I got a good deal on a great driver and despite the immediate need for some rewiring, I've only run into minor speed bumps since making the purchase last weekend. She's a '99 6-speed FRC in Pewter with 130k miles.
Ultimate goal for the car is to keep it bone stock (maybe add some stereo pieces) until it gets paid off, then it's literally off to the races.
Glad to be on this forum!
Didn't know the car was coming with a pet...
