Hey everyone,

I am happy to report that I just picked up my first Vette, an '05 LeMans M6 with 67K miles. It's in great condition. Props to RaceBum for helping me find her!

I picked her up in Reno and drove her straight west, took her down Hwy 1, and broke her in. What a blast! I got a little crazy, but she handled it well. And it was awesome seeing other Vette owners on the road and waiving back at them.

Now why is it that once you start driving one, you start listening to classic rock again and get all patriotic yelling, "Damn, I love America!"?!

One of the best corvette colors produced, imo. Congrats on your new ride.

Congratulations.

To me Corvette is more than a car, it's a community.
