Hi Gang,

Greetings from Williamsport, PA - Home of Little League Baseball.

Being a new member I thought I would give you a little background. I have had several muscle cars over the years. Most recently, I had a '62 Vette 327/340 4 speed, which I just sold. The old ones are very nice and look great, but are very hard to maintain, it's always something. I just purchased a one owner '04 silver z06 with 5,000 miles. It only took me one pass through the gears to realize I made the right decision for me.
