Welcome and definitely check out the South East forum. Kind of dead right now but we have quite a few get togethers in the NOVA area in the summer months. Also, we always have a caravan to Carlisle in August.

Don't forget to

Hi and welcome to the CF. How are things up on Shooter's Hill? I've visited there a few times. Here's a wave from NJ.

I hope to make it to some gatherings. Sounds like fun. I went to a few of the locall 3000gt gatherings in Ohio, where I am from, and thyey were cool, but small. All depends on my work schedule. Oh and by the way..

I hope he is as helpful here as he was on 3si.

This is the first Corvette I have owned and as a matter of fact, I think it is the only vette I have ever driven. So far it has been great! I don't have a plan for mods yet, but I am looking forward to doing some.

I'm also looking forward to chatting with all of you and learning more about these cars. Anyone in the Alxandria VA, area- don;t be a stranger.

Here are a few pics:


You are in the right spot. Best bunch of guys and gals in the world. All the help and support you can possibly need. Welcome.

I learned a ton at 3si about my 3000gt over the last few years. Saved me a tome of cash and headaches. Good to know this will be as informative, if not more informative and helpul. Thanks in advance for any help. i have already been able to get my fob reprogrammed, and check my CEL codes from here.

Certainly am. The F15 guys missed a trick though.

Welcome aboard.
