Ditto every remark above Coltcarbine and welcome! :seeya I'm fairly new myself - one week - and have yet to find a friendlier more willing-to-help-you bunch of folks than at this site! Keep your eyes open for MY "dumb" questions 'cause I'll probably come up with the ones that YOU don't think of :lol: I know just how you feel. Bought my Vette in April with very little knowledge of them except for the fact that I LOVED THE CAR! That's the way, just jump right in! I, too, will be looking for the LOOK WHAT I BOUGHT post from you. Welcome again! Beverly

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I look forward to hanging out here and posting / sharing with you all.
Since I discovered this site not quite a week ago, I've been on it everyday, ususally 2 or 3 times each day! I can't get enough of it! This is a great site!
Take care, have a great weekend.

Hey colt I dreamed for 10 years! and finally my wife (bless her heart) says "Honey lets get one!" So the dream came true for me and we bought a gorgeous 79 L-48 #'s match, black with oyster interior 68,000 miles. Too bad we bought it the first of October and being from Wisconsin I only got to put 200 miles on it before the snow flew. So now its under a cover in the garage and the whole family cant wait untill next spring to get it out! So I'm on here also trying to learn as much as possible about the whole Vette experience. My youngest daughter did a report for school and she did one on corvettes (with a picture of mine included ofcourse!) and scored a 98 on it. She loves it as much as I do. And as soon as I get my dumb scanner working again I'll post a pic of it! Hello to everyone!
