First Time 'Vette Owners in West TN
Hi everyone!
My wife and I took ownership of our first 'Vette, a 2011 Grand Sport, last Tuesday. We purchased it from a fellow CF member (ray_ray). I had the pleasure of driving her home 6+ hours while my wife followed in my Dodge Magnum.
We named her Annette. Why? Well, she was an ANNiversary gift to ourselves (#6), and since she is a CorvETTE...ANNETTE.
Anywho, without further adieu...us!

Thanks everyone, for the warm welcome!
A bit more about Annette:
She is all stock (LT3 package) except for the following:
Kenwood head unit w/ NAV and FWD/REV cameras
Vitesse Motorsports throttle control module
Mild to Wild NPP switch
Chrome brake vent covers
78K miles (used but not abused)
We've had the top off once so far. The weather here keeps flip flopping from cold to sunny, to rainy, to cold. Gotta love West TN weather.
