Default new guy here

i bought my first vette this year. got from my father, so i kinda knew what i was getting into.(he bought an 01 vert). so i put a new rear spring on her, new exhaust, replaced the carpets and started driving. after about a month she died. damned ignition switch. got that fixed and away i went. i raced 2 different mustang gt's, of which i won't waste my time with again. wimpy cars. so now its just about winter up here in good old upstate NY, and i've decided to put her up. guess i just really want to say hi and i should have bought one sooner
