Default Can I join you guys ?

Hi all, I just wanted to say hi, my wife and I just bought a 2002 C5 white/tan coupe. (It's being delivered Weds) I'm looking forward to learning more about you all and the great machines.

ciao,

John

Perry and bride:

You will love your '02! I have had mine since last fall. Traded a sweet '87 coupe that I had owned for about 10 years. The '02 is a great choice because all the goodies (engine improvements, etc.) are already there. Let us know more when its delivered, equipment, etc. This is a very solid forum with characters, cranks, very experienced gear heads and a bunch of CORVETTE LOVERS!!
