Greetings Dan and Welcome to the forum. You've stumbled upon the best site on the net for Corvette knowledge. Have a look around, check out the help section and the Northeast section for goings on.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, rest assured that everyone was new once (though some here forget that ) and that's how we learned. Congrats on the purchase of your Corvette and here's to miles of smiles.

Paul

and Happy New Year.

Welcome aboard Dan! The forum members are a wealth of vette knowledge and some are pretty witty! I do suggest that you use the advanced search function (search by keyword and search the C5 general discussion forum) before you ask a question. This will save you time and protect you from a lot of 'ribbing' from forum members.

Have a great time with the vette, the forum, and other vette people you will surely come to meet. Also, don't forget 'THE WAVE' !!!!

Congratulations on finding your Vette and the best Forum on the Web!

As the others have stated - this is the place with the answers. It may seem like a new problem to you, but chances are very good that someone here has been there and done that - and is usually willing to share their trials and tribulations.

Just do us one favor, please.....

Don't ask about which floor mats are best, what we think of body side moldings, which intake is best or which wax to use. It's can get pretty ugly.....
