Default My new to me Corvette

Had a awesome day Saturday,
Went to Corvette Warehouse in Dallas and bought a C5 Corvette, After that, me and the misses went to Gas Monkey Bar & Grill and had a great lunch, from there we went to Gas Monkey's headquarters and then stopped by Fired Up Garage, had a great road trip home. This C5 is a 1999 with 78,000 mile and some tasteful upgrades.

LG super pro headers
LG Big 3 exhaust
SLP intake
Wilwood Brakes
ACA headlights
MSD wires and NGK plugs
Tuned by LG Motorsports
Cray scorpion wheels
Brand new Goodyears all the way around



Here are some photos that were taken:

Enjoy




































Glad to be back in a corvette !

Pauly,
He is the GM at Corvette Warehouse,
Super nice guy, no pressure what's so ever, most of my time there I spent going over the Vette and looking at all the other Vette's, about 20 minutes when it was time to do the deal and paperwork,

Had a great buying experience

Congrats! I looked at vettes at Corvette Warehouse but they sold the one I wanted right before I go there.
I ended up buying my 03 vert from a forum member and got a real nice car.
