Default Another New Guy Here

Hi Guys,
Yes once again I am another new guy here. And just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jim and am in Manchester NJ and am picking up my first vette this weekend and can't wait! My dad starting this love with his 68 conv and now mine is a 84 with 66K miles on her and could not ask for one in better shape. (My wife finally got tired of hearing me after six years of marriage! :)) So after about 6 months of searching I finally found her. I look forward to talking to all of you.

Jim, Welcome and your car looks great. I got my first Corvette in July and I am still grinning ear to ear. My father is to blame for my infatuation with these cars as well. Of course he is also responsible for me getting this one, so I guess it's ok.:D

BTW: You should look at your RPO codes to see what options your vette has, they're on a sticker inside one of the storage compartments. Specifically look for Z51 it's the extra handling package, and it's very good.

:seeya Be sure and place your options and such in your signature. It makes it easier for others
to help you with your questions
My father is the reason for my addiction also. I am also lucky he is a top notch mechanic.
These are great cars to work on.
Really they are. especially those with only the OBD I computers.
still simple enough to deal with.
