WELCOME

We like the new members! When you posted those pics, there is a way in which they come out as photos instead of links. Yes, you were probably wondering how they did that.

When you bring up the page to post, click on the icon under where it says smiles (looks like a picture of a mountain), then paste your link and it'll show as a photo as opposed to a link.
Good Luck,and......CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

The green with the magnesium wheels is a great looking combination.

Congrats!

PLEASE...Do NOT tell my wife....
for the last couple of years she has warned me NOT to BUY another Corvette UNLESS it was Polo Green with a Tan interior... I know what she will say as I walk out the door to head up to Carlisle in a few weeks...Seriously...!

I've seen some of these colors up close and the color combo is beautiful, in my
opinion! In fact, I think besides quicksilver and torch red interior, it's the best color
combo offered! I like the magnesium wheels too, but chrome or polished wheels
set off the color better IMO! Oh, yeah, great price too, I paid $28K for my 01 with 22.5K miles on her!

p.s.-I believe the green is called Dark Bowling Green Metallic

Ya i think you may be right. Bowling Green. If i am not mistaken the C4's green was called Polo Green. Thank you eveyone, everyone has been so welcoming to the Vette Club. I will definately always own a Vette. I absolutely have the fever now more than ever....
