Default New and LOVING it....

well just wanted to say Hello... my name is JOe and am the very proud new owner of a 2000 C5.... I LOVE this car... only owned it 3 days and its been a dream.

live in Santa Clarita, Ca and only about 20 minutes from LACR and its OH SO TEMPTING!...

Hope to contribute as much as possible and learn as much as i can... and maybe mod this ride up a little

every car should have a sick exhaust system and huge intake right? oh and some tuning, bigger throttle body, all the free mods... hahaha..

anyways, enough rambling... so HEY and how's it going.

JOe
