Default You guys are great

New member here and have learned a great deal from your pearls of wisdom and experience. Just picked up my 4th vette along t6he road of life. This one is a triple black '02 vert with 16K. First mod was putting a polished set of C6 18-19s on. This looks great in the garage next to my other remaining vet, a '64 red/red convertible.

Reading the information you have here has already saved me hours. So for what I learned so far and for the future THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to be stupid but what is TTT?

Welcome Pat! You should come out and visit the Pavilions on Saturdays - the 1st Saturday of the month is Corvette Saturday, and there are two full rows of Vettes!

We're a pretty friendly group and we welcome "newbies" with open arms - although if this is your fourth Vette, you're hardly a newbie!

I like your choice of colors - 3X Black is very cool! Mine is 2X Black with a grey interior, so I have a warm spot for black convertibles (maybe it's a soft spot and it's on my head!)

If you're interested in more details on the Pavilions, please feel free to send me a PM and I'll fill you in! But again, welcome!
