Congratulations and welcome to the fray.
Hope you enjoy the new Vette. You may want to get a FSM- Field Service Manual to get aquanted with the maintanece/small things/questions that will arise as you drive your C4. They have much information that will come in handy.
Hope to see you on the road soon!

CONGRATULATIONS on your acquisition and welcome to the Forum!
To better enjoy the madness of C4 ownership, I too would recommend purchasing a FSM. We also want to see pictures of your new ride.

Welcome!
Aside from the FSM, the Search function here can be your best friend.
In case you didn't know, Vette owners are required by law to wave to each other.

Welcome. From another '85 owner.
Pictures are good. They are a little difficult to post, but most of us like to see all the cars. And 92 ragtop is right about the wave.

Welcome. You will probably discover something called the "look back" which is where you turn around and look at your Corvette as you walk away from where it is parked.
Here are a couple of sites I like. There are others too though:
www.corvettecentral.com for new parts and
www.vette2vette.com for used.
