Default Just saying Hello

I Joined very long time ago and never said Hey. I'm new to posting and had been just lurking various sites for years, sorry. I always felt like I was standing in a room full of people talking and never said anything and didn't think anyone saw me. I think its about time I contribute what I can to all the sites I have been looking at from the outside, if I can. I'm from Brick NJ. I will try to get my thing on the side of this post updated with some info and maybe an avitar at some point. I have a white 1990 conv ex daily driver with 197,000 mi this is where I started lurking and with all the miles on it I'm sure I can contribute a good amount. Thanks for everything, I have learned alot from this C4 forum I'm sorry again for not opening my mouth up sooner, but I will try and answer as much as I can from what I have learned from all those miles.
my car was in Vette magazine November 1997 for the C4 stockers (don't laugh) shootout. If you want to see It and you hold on to every mag you ever bought like me, it's there. I'll try to get an older picture up soon, its not in as good a shape as it used to be. One more thing, I just picked up a black 2003 conv in August. Its an unbeliveable car but unless for financial reasons I would not want to loose my C4. With all those miles and the work that it needs bushings, shocks. I still love this car, the C4 is incredible and I can't say enough about it. I still sneak it out once and a while for a ride behind the C5's back.

Why yes it is. Very shady to do, but yes. Even with my C5 vert trunk there still is no room sometimes.

Hello! Have yourself an eggnog and brandy and spill your guts. I don't know how old you are but Arlo Guthrie's "Motorcycle Song" is playing on the radio. (I don't know what that has to do with anything, but the Forum is open to almost anything).

I don't know anything about your police, but around where I am it would take an unusually cold-hearted cop to do any more than let you off with a warning.
