Default First Time Vette Owner

Hello everyone! I look forward to reading through the forum, seeing everyone’s cars and learning from you all.

I bought a ‘22 3LT C8 with the Z51 package on 6/26. It had 2,271 miles on it when I drove it off the lot and the prior owner had an Armytrix exhaust installed on it. (One less thing to spend money on ) The dealer said he never got to drive it due to traveling and work, so he decided to trade it in.

I had a set of Vossen HF-2 installed today and kept the stock sizes. I wouldn’t have minded the wheels on the car had it not been for the machined edge. Just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend and take care.


First day seeing it in person.

Welcome, Nick, and what a beauty you have for yourself. The yellow accents, to me, are not only really sharp looking, they are a color that I would never have thought of for your color car. Best wishes for miles and miles of enjoyment!
