Default Greetings!

We just bought our first Corvette. Great forum you have here. Lots of info. I thought I would introduce myself and our car. It's a '79 with 86,000 miles, mostly stock. I bought it from a guy at work who is a professional mechanic who took very good car of it. It's SUPER clean! His step mother was the original owner. Anyhow, great to meet you all. I look forward to many very late nights reading the forum when I should be going to bed. Maybe someone could help me figure out to post a photo-is there a waiting period for newbies?

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on your purchase.
To post pics you have to have them uploaded somewhere on the net.
There's a section here or someplace like http:www.cardomain.com
