hello all
hi everyone, i am a newbie here. :) i was surfing the net a while ago when i found this place. i have been reading everything for a while and a few days ago i decided to register. i dont own a vette yet, but i will in a year or less. ever since i was about 2 i have loved corvettes. my parents say that when i was 4 we lived right by a groceory store, our house had a 5 foot metal fence all around it. one day i dissapeared. they found me right next to a brand new corvette in the store parking lot. they say i must have climbed over the fence. :) i love all vettes but for some reason i like the C4's the most. even more than the new Z06. figure that one out! like i said, i dont own a vette yet, but i own the closest thing to a vette i could get. and that is a 85 pontiac fiero GT, i am doing a series I 3800 conversion in it right now. i know fiero's are NOTHING compared to a vette, but it is a nice car, and it is made by GM. so try not to make too many fiero jokes ;)
for some reason this has been the best week of my life.. so far. i saw a total of about 20 C4's and 1 C5. today i saw a black C4 and a red C4. i was supposed to be picking my sister up from work, but when i saw the red vette i whipped out of the parking lot and tried to catch it, but it was too far away :(
i never got the chance to get a good look at a C4 yet, but that is because i am afraid the owner will see me and think i am messing with it. i dont like the idea of going to the E.R because i wanted to look at a vette. :)
you guys/gals dont mind if a non vette owner hangs around here, do you?
oh, and just so you know, i have a bad habbit of making ALOT of typo's, so dont be surprised if my posts are full of them :)

You are welcome but you have to do everything in your power to get a Vette even if it means lying to your mother. :) In the meantime stay cool. I know from your attitude about Vettes you'll be in one soon.

Re: hello all (poppy)
As said above: You can learn alot about the exact vette you want here!
Look into options when you buy yours. I'd like to have a differnt car, but I love it all the same.
Welcome, I started out in a couple of Ricers, B4 stepping up to the Vette. There is nothing like it!
Sounds like you've gotten the hang of it, read around, lots to learn!

Re: hello all (faster_fiero)
Welcome! Nothing wrong with fieros (cept for the fire that comes with them :D ). I saw one with a 350 conversion so those can be made to be faster :smash: . Like everyone said, you will learn A LOT here. The folks here are great so stick around, pull up a seat, and enjoy the ride.
:cheers:

Re: hello all (faster_fiero)
Welcome to the University :seeya I read this forum for over two years before joining. I was quietly attending class and learning from all the great folks here. As a result, I just purchased my first Vette with knowledge learned from here. :yesnod: Keep reading and learning, as I am, and it will help you when you get ready to buy. Enjoy the education. :) :) :)
