Welcome to the best forum on the internet!

This is a great place to hang out with a bunch of Vette fanatics and have some fun, not to mention get answers to your questions.

Miles and miles of smiles on your trip down the highway (the paved one in the car and the information superhighway) Thanks, Al Gore!

Get my first tomorrow, Pewter '00! Waited for years, my kids are in college now, my wife spends an inordinate amount of time at the gym (hmmm) and I think it's about time I have something to play with. Can't wait, I'm so anxious I just keep thinkin' somethin' is gonna go wrong at the closing tomorrow to kill the deal (talk about goin' nuts, I never felt this way when buying any other new car before, let alone a used car!) Congrats on yours, I know how you feel!
