Default New Vette Owner!!

My T/A is gone but not for gotten. I drove my 2007 Corvette off the showroom floor today. It is a Red 6sp with chrome wheels. Id never thought in my life that at 20yrs old id be in my first vette.

Its 4am and this is the only pic i could go outside and snap off in my boxers.

its a tad slower than my trans am was even off the bottle. But for the renfinement and quiteness and the handling and everything else the car came with its worth it. Headers,x-pipe, and intake a in the very near future to wake it up a bit

K if you guys really wanna get a nice car try and start working for a Maroone dealer or big car company. Thats what i did i worked for them till i saved enough for a downpayment. The car was 48,845 and i got it GMS at 40,200 plus no dealer fees. I then traded my old car in plus 3k more for a total of almost 15k down. Now im working for this millionaire guy who pays me very well. But the biggest help was getting GMS on the car
