Like most people in this forum, I have dreamed of having a Corvette since my early youth. I had that dream come true today as I drove home my brand new 2008 Victory Red Vette!!! This is one of the rare times that realization actually matched anticipation. What a beautiful machine. I must admit that I have been guilty of stepping out to the garage every few hours just to look at it again. I am looking forward to many "miles of smiles" in my new car. I have been reading this forum for quite some time now while researching my purchase...thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge regarding the C-6.

 

Congrats on your purchase, I know the exact feeling. I used to go in the garage when I first got mine "just to check it out" every time I passed the door. Post some pics when you get a chance so we can check it out too. Have fun and remember to wave.

 

Welcome to the site. Your gonna love your car. And yes we love pictures. Don't forget to wave....Cheers

 

Welcome, I also have the Victory Red C6! Beautiful indeed they are. I have had mine for over 2 years now and my smile just keeps getting bigger!

 

Congrats on your purchase. The day I drove my C5 home for the first time was absolutely amazing. No car had ever made me feel that way. Now I just can't wait to get back behind the wheel of a Vette again,I'm starting to go crazy without one.

 

Good luck with your new vette. I had 2 since last year the 1 st black 6 speed no other extras had 22inches of water in it when my street flooded with under 3000 miles on it . This might sound crazy but it was the best thing to happen. I was able to go and get a 2007 lemans blue with a 6speed and z51 pkg.Coupe. and it rides and handles so much better than the first one . It is only a car but what a car !!!!!.I am 60 and waited all my life for one . When I got the 2 nd I went out a got a tatto of the C6 emblem on my arm and mind you I dont have any tatto's. Do what I did Instead of going out to the garage I took the top off put on saliva and took a video of driving and bring the car up to 140 mph. and a bunch of stills and I watch them on the comuptor at night. I just sit back and remember the rush from that day and feel so happy I got this american sports car. Good luck and wear it well!

I've driven a few different generations of Corvette's and it always amazes me how fun they are to drive compared to other cars, even though my car is OLD OLD OLD, if I haven't driven it in a few weeks and I get it out, it still surprises me! this coming from a guy who used to make fun of Corvette owner's because they're "stupid"

 

Congrats!
The first night I remember getting up a couple of times in the middle of the night just to check it out. Cool car 4 sure!

 

Tattoo came out pretty nice
