Another first vette thread
Hi
After a while of dreaming and saving and lurking and to be honest... trying other cars out, I finally was able to get my fun car. 2014 with the z51 package with mag ride, 7mt, and 2lt interior package. I picked it up with less than 8700 miles but I bought it in MI and drove it home to just outside of Nashville TN so it has a few more miles now.I have some plans for it down the road but plan on keeping it pretty stock for a bit. Maybe some cosmetic stuff early on and light bolt ons.

Thanks all.
I have been in the c7 portion quite a bit before this purchase. There is a lot of good info in there. The community seemed pretty strong which is pretty nice when you are getting a new toy and have a lot to learn.
