Default Takin' a chance here



Hi all. I've been a member for some time now but have been slow to post. Why? I know all to well the "We need pictures" answers to a newbie who neglects to put in a picture. Well, it looks like I have this figured out. Posting of pictures that is. So, for a techno-peasant here goes.

I ordered the Torch Red convertible new. A 2000 that was delivered in Dec. '99. It is seldom used but I love it.

A long (sort of) story that I won't get into but I purchased the 2008 VY coupe last year. Wow, what a great car. And for years I thought "All Corvettes were Red". Nope, some of them are other colors.

Thanks for making room for one more Corvette "nut". Mine is the old story of wanting one since I was a little kid back in Omaha in the 50's. Now I have two of them. Who woulda thunk that?

Looking forward to many years on the Corvette Forum.

Nice and more power to you being able to pull off the yellow, I know I couldn't. Looks real good with the chromes.

Nice pair you have..I sold a 99 TR coupe and ordered an 08 in July 07. I could not decide on color, but did not want another red car. One look at a VY Z06 in a parking lot and it the choice was clear..

Nice pic, nice vettes!

Next time you might consider resizing the pic down to under 800 pixels wide so we don't have to horizontally scroll to read your post.

The red vert almost looks like it has a white top. Both are beauties.

I sure miss white tops on cars.
