After waiting 53 years I finally got me a Vette! An 05 base 3LT Z51 with under 10K miles.

Excellent, Rick! Welcome to the Forum and welcome to the world of Corvette ownership. A very low mile C6 should provide you with years of enjoyment. Be sure to read some of the coming comments about a 500 mile/year car and make sure all maintenance is up to date! Enjoy!
