    Default After 16 1/2 years... another Vette

    Just wanted to say hi and share that I bought my second ever Corvette yesterday. I had a 1987 Z51 Coupe that I had right after college, but after selling it in 1995, I have not owned one until yesterday.

    Sorry, no pictures yet, but I found a 1996 Collectors Edition convertible, auto, with gray leather. Drove it home in Minnesota in January and it runs great! I probably won't drive it again for a few months, but I am already looking forward to top down driving this summer!

    The car is stock, and I will likely leave it that way. I have had a lot of modded cars over the years (mostly Camaros), but this is more a cruiser than a racer, but it is pretty quick even stock, I especially like the wiggle at launch as long as you turn off the ASR.
