Default new guy here

hey whats goin on guys ive been reading this forum for a while so i figured i'd join. i dont own a vette yet but i work with them at a chevy dealer which is even more frustrating cuz i cant take them home . anyway, i just wanted to say hi and ill probably have questions (and maybe answers lol) and that this is an awesome community... im glad to know that im not wrong in thinking that the value of a car isnt just a $ sign but what u get out of it. thanks guys

p.s. sorry if this is in the wrong section this is my first post

When you go to post a message there is a little yellow box with mountains on it right above the box you type the body of the message. First go to a site like photobucket.com, its the only one I know off the top of my head. Sign up for an account, its free, and then you can post pics. Every pic will have a URL that you can paste in the box that comes up when you click the yellow box up top. By the way, what do you do at the Stealership (no offense just CF terminology). I would think if you are a mechanic you should have plenty of $$ for a C5. Plus the skill to be able to fix it which should save you tons. A used C5 isn't as expensive as most people think, we joke about it here sometimes how people think we are rich.
