Welcome! Lot's of good people here, best forum I've found. I just sold my '70 Z a couple months ago and I've had a bunch of Poncho's in the past as well.

I know the feeling. I am getting my first vette this weekend (Saturday or Sunday). It's an 81, good condition, I can't wait to drive it. The anticipation is killing me.
