Default Hey From a Newbie

Been lurking for about three weeks now... Cool board, there's a wealth of information here. I've got a 76, L48, Metallic Brown, brown interior. I tend to forget how much I love it until I take it out (which is not as much as I would like). Like some of you admitted this past week, sometimes I just go out to the garage and STARE at it. I really like all the years of Vettes, and I've considered getting a newer one, but there's just something about the 3rd generation body style... Got to be the Hottest looking car ever, IMHO.

Anyway, glad to have discovered the Forum.

Hey back from another newbie. I am just getting my second 77..hence the nick name. Had my first back in 97 while still in Navy in Texas. I visited here back then (or it may have been a different one...but I think this is it) and learned everything I wanted to know. Never seen a bunch of people more willing to help out....even for the simplest of things. Welcome aboard. I know you will enjoy. I do.

Welcome aboard. I'm sorta new myself but I've been here so much it doesn't feel like it. I feel the same as you about the C3's. They Rock. I also find myself staaring at mine. Is it lust ? I sure hope so.
