Default Our First Corvette

My wife and I bought our first Corvette. We never thought that we would own a vette let alone a new 2002 C5 convertible. We both love it . Even though its winter here we still have some nice days to drive it with the top down.We can't wait for this summer.

'74 Yellow/Tan int '96 Black/Black int LT4
Default new corvette

My first was a 74 and after two years of fun restoring her, my wife feel in love with it. To keep her out, I had to buy her one. Since I already had the OLD SCHOOL, found a pretty nice 96 and since it had the LT4, it had to be sitting in my garage.

Careful: Corvettes are addicting......



Congrates on the new vette, you'll have alot of fun with it!

Congratulations, I've owned seven (7) corvettes, and have loved them all - your idea of joining a corvette club is excellent - you will get the most enjoyment out of your vette when you find a good / active club ...


best of luck & I hope you enjoy your new hobby ...

You'll love being a vette owner . There is nothing that can come close to the feeling of driving a vette. I now have an 81 (original owner) and an 02 Mag Red Vert 6 Spd. and I like my 02 so much I'm bidding on an 02 Millenium Yellow Vert 6Spd.

My wife and I bought our first and only vette new in 1998 and believe it or not it has allowed us to spend more time together. We take weekend trips to various resosrt hotels, points of interest, neat cities, etc. Getting there is often more fun than the visit even when I have to let her drive.

That is so cool freods. My wife and I are looking to do the same with our vette. We are looking forward to making new friends and making a lot of road trips.

Thanks

Congrats...

Oh, about that smile on your face... it will go away eventually... but could be months and months, maybe years. Don't fight it, just go with it.
