    Default Not a new member, But I bought my first VETTE!!!!

    Well, I've always wanted a Corvette for years and now I finally have her! She is a 2003 Corvette Z06, Quicksilver with ModRed interior. I have 3yr/30k mi premium extended warranty. I will drive her 2 days one week and 3 days the next etc, weather permitting. The good thing is I was able to keep my G35 to run the kiddos around in the back seat. Of course the vette will be in the garage.

    ***edit: new pics added.


    Take care.

    Little known fact :Quicksilver was the fastest production paint used on a Corvette ,hence the name Quicksilver.:

    Quicksilver was discontinued in Jan 03 .Please check your cars birth date ,I worked at BG and I might have been the very first person to have driven your car.

    03 was a great build year .

    Thanks everyone. Yes the color combo is very nice and people do look at you differently. Oh, and 2003 is a very good build year with 50 years of experience, it better be. I really like the 50th badging too.

    Car was just washed today, but it won't come out until this freaking rain goes away


    yes, QS is the fastest version though blazer427X3 tells me its EB.
