Bought my first Corvette at 21 years old! [PICS]
After saving up for 4 years in college and waiting since december when my order was placed, my car finally got to the dealership. I picked her up yesterday and drove 200 miles today. One of the two best days of my life.
For those who are curious, my specs are: AW z51, 1LT, Magnetic Ride, Transparent Top, Auto, Black Wheels, Red Calipers, Carbon Flash, Red Interior, Nav.
Also want to give a shout out to Win Chevrolet in Carson, CA. BEST BUYING EXPERIENCE EVER. Sold me the car at MSRP (only one in so cal), gave me a great price on the trade in and got 2% financing. They also gave me a fat discount on some additional insurance I got.
Here are some pics. 1st one is with my Camaro I traded in.
Next up. Upgrading exhaust, headers, steering wheel, lowering, and maybe adding carbon fiber to the dash.
Thanks for the great advice I got here on Corvette Forum! A review will also be coming up!

Dude, I'm getting mine this week, and it's exactly the same as yours! And I just sold my Mustang, too (similar enough to the Camaro). I think I'm your female counterpart on the east coast, haha. Your car is gorgeous!

Could you size those pictures large it only took a minute for the page to load. if they were large I would have time to make a pot of coffee while I waited.
By the way I bought my first Corvette more than 21 years before you were born.

On the C7, after seeing different colors, I think the white gives the best presentation of it's stand and aggressiveness look.
Congrats to your new baby, just respect it's power and be humble, or it will bite your A$$ :-)

Great looking car. There's tens of thousands of miles of asphalt out there waiting on you and your car. Have you named her yet ???
Find a local club to enhance your experience with others and if you can find the time, make the caravan with others from your state to the NCM in August

Congrats! I came very close to buying my first Vette when I was 21, insurance cost scared me off. Took me 17 years to pull the trigger, I'm glad you were able to do it and enjoy it now!
