Tranny blew up a little bit ago and it has been a nightmare. After over a month of bumming rides to work and having to work coworkers hours... I broke down and got a 2nd car. Max should be done early next week but in the mean time I'm using my new 6 speed 2000 c5 vet as my daily driver!
This car is B A D A S S!!!

More pics as promised.

 

vet = veteran

vette = Corvette

Right before I drove it off the dealer lot, I took a quick snap with my phone.
Tomorrow after work I will give a good wax and take some good pics with my digi.

 

Congrats on the car!! I have an 01 6MT. Not fully mine yet though. There nice cars, got the bb catback and intake, sounds SICK now. Pretty damn fast, although sometimes i wish i had of spent a bit more and gotten a Z06.

 

since were in NJ. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking..mileage?? And what about insurance?

 

32k miles on it. paid 23.5k + tax thats it. Insurance is going to go down a little more after I call them today. Right now though it is 1600 every 6 months and I'm single male under 25 with 10 points.

 

10 points!!!!! good lord......

 

wow i pay that much insurance on my max with no coverage

 

I figured ur 2nd car would be a beater car.. but maan was i wrong :P.. NICE RIDE BRO!!! ..

 

WICKED WHIP!!!!! Be careful you may not want to go back to the max......

 

In NJ every year you go ticket free, you get 3 points deducted. Well for the past 3 years.. it just so happens I would get 1 magical ticket per year.. at just the right time. two 4 point tickets and one 2 point. Not like I was flying on school zones and stuff. But going to work, on route 80, the flow of traffic is 80-85 mph easily. Well they snagged me once doing 82 in a 65. There were cars all around me and we were all going that speed. Lucky me. Other incidents are similar. 75 will get you there just about as fast as 85 will and you won't have to worry about looking for cops and hitting your brakes. Anyway, I learned my lesson and got a V1 and have no more need for speed unless its at the track.

 

NICE ride...and the power must be nice!

but what made u get a vette?

 

Because no matter how you look at it. A vettes a vette!
They hold their value as long as you dont run the miles up super high. Keep it clean and maintain it and it will last a long time. It handles like no other, is pretty fast in a straight line or around curves, looks damn sexy, and if I want to sell it to get an updated one in the future I will not lose much on it.
Around my town where I live theres not many vettes either. You might see 3 or 4 a week in the summer time thats it.

 

corvette.org?

3200 a year assuming its full coverage isn't bad at all with 10 points....actually..its pretty cheap...lol
