First smart thing I did.........
The first smart thing I did was to get my 59 year old backside back into a vette. (01-6sp) The second smart thing I did was join this forum. I just spent, or left my Vette at a very reputable Chevy dealer here in Mesa Az for 10 hours. They were to fix a stripped gear in my left headlight motor, and to repair the "Service Tire Monitor System". It showed low left front and low left rear. They fixed the headlight before noon, but could not reprogram the Tire sensors. I did a search when I got home and found instructions from "Brazen C5" & forwarded by "RocknRoll". As electronically backward as I am I had it reprogramed in 5 minutes. What's up with that? Anyway, thanks everyone. From here I am going to donate some $$ to the Red Cross/Katrina and upgrade my Forum membership ($).

Denny - Welcome to the Forum! As another Arizona guy, I can tell you that there is a fairly active Corvette community here in the Valley of the Sun!
As flyzlow stated - if you haven't checked out the Pavillions at the 101 and Indian Bend in Scottsdale on a Saturday evening, you're in for a treat (weather permitting of course!)
Here's a group and their web page that is kind of an unofficial club - no dues, no officers, no regular meetings, just a bunch of folks who like to go on the occasional cruise with their Vettes and hang out.

I'll be at the Pavillions tonight - maybe I'll see you there!

Congrats and Welcome aboard.
Don't be surprised at what the dealer DOESN'T know. Check here first and it might save you a boat load of money. A lot of highly knowledgable and friendly people here.

Hi Denny, I live in Mesa and have not found a good Chevy dealer in this part of the world. Unless you are getting warranty work done just call up Xtreme in Tempe. Maybe a little more expensive on some things but you can trust them to take care of your Vette. Congrats on the new car
