Default Saying Hello

Just wanted to introduce myself and say "Hey" to you all!
Name is Steve, been lurking here for a month or so and finally took the plunge into the C5 world last week. I got a EB 02 Coupe and Im in love all over again - I have had an 80 C3 for a few years, but this is a whole different ballgame!

This neighborhood (C5) seems just as friendly and informative as the C3 hood, and I look forward to learning and hopefully contributing in the future.

Be safe and enjoy the rest of the weekend, maybe I'll see some or all of you at Funfest!

Welcome to this neck of the woods. C5 was my first Vette. My next one will be a C3 - hoping I can get one before they get too spendy. Looking for a late model such as your 1980.

Have fun with your C5

Hi Steve,

You're a lucky guy to have owned two 'Vettes. I'm thoroughly enjoying my first.

Cool Steve! Welcome!

I'm on the flip side of what you've done. I've got a C5 and I want to add a C3 to the stable (love to have a C2, but those have just gone to the unreachable now).

Glad to have you!
