CONGRADULATIONS!

Now prepare to spend the majority of your waking hours thinking about your vette (and some of your nonwaking ones too). I spend a good amount of time at work each day on this forum and/or looking at websites with cool stuff for vettes.

Its like an addiction... but who wants to be sober when you can just go faster!

I remeber not sleeping at all the night before i brought mine home. The next several days all of my free time was spent in the garage. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine. Speaking of homework thats one thing that may suffer from constantly spending your time with the vette as well as your ability to concentrate in class. :seeya

my shark keeps me away from my homework so much I am forced to do it all durring my lunch period and in the morning before my first class. :crazy:
lucky for me my grades havn't suffered, and in fact they are the best they have ever been(something about actually doing my homework...I guess all my highschool teachers where right). Part of my deal w/my parents was if I kept my grades up they'd pay my insurance...my lowst grade is a 92....and that is killing me...it way to low...my other grades are 96-100....Building Materials and Methods in a BORING class :sleep: . By the way, my major is Architecture. Hopefully that will support my 'vette hobby with possibly a second shark in the pond at a later date...

Daniel
PS. welcome to the forum...I spend my time where while Im waiting for something to dry, it a part to arrive..

Thanks once again... well to reiterate. It is a 1980 Corvette, burgundy w/ white leather interior. Full power, glass tops, 56K original miles, 8K miles on 350c.i. 300hp engine which was put in in 1995. All papers since 1991, the previous owner is about 50 years old and has had it the last 10 years. Very impressive car.
