Hi everyone. I'm Josh. New here.
Currently a dirt nasty Infiniti G37 owner but looking to get out of that and get a C5 Z06 at some point soon. Ideally a black or electron blue 03/04 car. Excited to be apart of the New Balance club

Picture of said Infiniti for those curious

Welcome, Josh. Hopefully, you can find yourself a special Corvette that checks all of the right boxes. As Captain Obvious would say, color is a totally personal decision. For me, EB is a great color. Maybe also check out the 2004 Commemorative Edition in, I believe, LeMans Blue. I have always liked that model. Finding a Corvette locally would be great, but don’t tie yourself to the Metroplex. I found mine in Florida. Keep us up to date with your search. Best of luck. (And, orange cats rock!)
