New guy on the block ......
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to say thanks for all the great reading, this is my first post. Been reading and learning for awhile ( about 2 months). My first Corvette and if I survive the mechanical issues, it won't be my last.You should be very proud, you have a great group of people here. Hope I get to meet some of you sometime soon in the Dallas area.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi and Welcome! The Forum has so much to offer! View the mechanical issues as a challenge not a deterrant. Been there, done that and if U haven't already, buy the service manuals. They're invaluable! :cheers:
