Just wanted to say hi and thanks for all the information I have found on this site over the past several months.

After wanted a Vette for about 15 years now, I finally bought one this week. 03 Blue Coupe 6 Speed with 9,500 miles. (Sorry, no pics yet) I knew more about the car than the guy I bought it from thanks to all of you.

Thanks again for the great Summer I am about to have.

Here is a pic.
