Hello All,

I would like to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Joe Serio and I am a vetteaholic. I have just purchased a 95' Black on black 6spd and joined this forum the other day. For the last year and a half I was a pert of Rennlist and the owner of a Porsche 928. This will be my 4th . Corvette. I had an 82', 84', 91' and now the 95'. This will be my first stick though. I would to know if there is a decent "honest" mechanic is Orange Cty, Ca. that will do excellent work and not rob me blind for those jobs I can't do myself. I have a lift in my garage and all local boys are welcome to use it. I have found it to me invalueable. Just PM me. I have a respectable tool ensamble also. I would like to convey my best wished to all and have a Merry Christmas and Great New Year.

Regards, Joe

Welcome aboard, Joe. That '95 sounds like a beauty! One of these days I hope to buy an LT4. If I can't find a dark purple met. one, black is my second choice for it. Rennlist is a pretty cool site. I found it for my brother who's restoring an old 912.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Like Rennlist I just paid a lifetime membership. The money saved in the info received ius well worthy of a few bucks in support.

Welcome aboard, and welcome back to The Obsession.

A very generous offer indeed, with the lift and tools. I think you're gonna fit in very nicely 'round here...

You're gonna love the 6-speed.

Be well,

SJW

Welcome aboard Joe and congratulations on your new 95. I think you made a great C4 choice and black on black with a 6 speed has got to be absolutely awesome! My 96 LT-1 is automatic of course but one day I'll get a six speed.

Regards, Greg

Welcome, Joe. You'll love the black on black. It's a PITA to keep clean but when it is clean there is nothing like it. Thanks for the offer of the lift and tools. Unfortunately, since I live in NJ if I stopped at your place to change the oil, I'd need another oil change when I got home.
