Default Newbie here!...

Hello everybody! I didn't know where to put my first ever Corvetteforum post, so i decided to make my own. I've been reading over the C4 forum for quite sometime now, and decided to enlist! I do enjoy the discussions. And I'm really new to this. So here goes. I have a '93 Polo Green coupe with a wonderful automatic transmission, that has been in the shop for over a week now and was supposed to get it back today. But no. :rolleyes: So i'm driving my dad's F350 crewcab, not good. And if you can't figure out my handle, it stands for Green Venom (my car) :cool: Thanks for your time! And i'm looking forward to speaking with everyone!
