Default Hello Everyone

I Just wanted to say hi to everyone, I am fairly new to this forum. I purchased my first vette last summer (2001 silver/black 6mt coupe) and was pretty clueless about some of its unique quirks. I was speaking to a Vette tuner in my area and he suggested I read these forums. That was the best/worst advice I had gotten in a while. It is the best beacuse you all seem like knowledgeble nice people and I found a lot of useful information. Its the worst cause i'm gonna go broke due to the evil mod bug and you guys got some creative ideas :P

Don't sweat the mod bug you could spend your money on other things but it wouldn't feel half as good.

Welcome to the forum. You'll find just about anything you wanted to know from these fine folks and we all can sympathize with you about the mod bug. Once it takes hold there is no cure.

Welcome and congrats on getting the C5. You're right, once you start modding the car, it never stops.

Welcome aboard!!!

This is one of the best vette forums around and not only will you gain a wealth of knowledge, you'll also make some lifelong friends.

What part of New York do you live in?

You should check out the Northeast section. Now that Spring has started, there's lots of events and cruises going on. Meeting forum members in person is great and you get to learn about mods firsthand.

See you on the road!
