Introductions
Just wanted to say hi to everyone on the forum.
I have just become the proud owner of a 2002 Z06 that only had 1000 miles on it...so its basically brand new. Only actually driven 1 (well two now I guess), an 1984 vette my friend owned that honestly...was POS, but it definitely still got up and went.
This is the first Corvette I've owned, but just like any American boy...had the dream forever.
I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions...so bare with me...and like everyone else says around here...plenty of great info here. I have learned more about the ins and outs of vettes in the last four days than I have in my whole life.

Chuck and Welcome to the greatest Corvette forum on the net. Enjoy the new ride and like others have said we'd love to see some pictures when you get a chance. Have a look around and don't be afraid to ask questions. We were all new once (all though some tend to foget that.
)
