Default My first vette!
Hey everyone! I just bought my first Corvette this past Saturday. I am a car enthusiast and have had a few classics in the past but this is my first "modern" sports car.
2016 C7 Z51 Stingray I drove the car back from Milwaukee to Cleveland on Saturday. Horrible rain made the drive not as romantic as I would have wanted. Actually got to enjoy the car on Sunday by visiting friends and taking all the kiddos for a spin.
