2022 Corvette of the Year Finalist -- Modified
Modified C8 of the Year 2021 Finalist

Default Rescued from eternal damnation as a garage queen

Hello all!
First time poster in here (aside from a brief introduction in the introduction section). A month or so ago I picked up an '03 coupe with 55,000 miles on it. Long story short, swapped my car for my ol' man's car since he didn't drive it much anymore. This will be my DD in the DFW area. (I also plan on getting on the SW regional section for some Q/A on a number of things.)

I'm a previous vette owner. I had a red/red '93 coupe when I lived in Germany quite a few years ago. I loved that car (and let me tell you... having a Vette in Germany is like no other car experience). I didn't realize how much I missed it until I started zooming around in this 'bute.

Well, I guess it's now down to pics or it didn't happen!
