You came to the right place. We are a vetteaholic family--we built the 84, brought home the 76 and started buying parts, bought the 99--did her up immediately and are now buying parts for the next C5 that we don't even have yet Welcome---there are nightly meetings at any hour to help you out And plenty of people still awake with at least most of the answers.

Vette-aholic? Yes, I guess I've go to admit - we are a Vette-aholic family There are currently 4 Vettes in my family. We bought the '63 convertible in 2001 but that wasn't enough - we also needed a C1.. therefore we bought the '58 (which will be restored soon ). I think my dad really liked the shape of the C2 since he bought another '63 Vert in 2005. After a few years of driving and repairing those old-generation Vettes, we wanted a more reliable car and bought the 2003 last November. Wouldn't it be great to have a "straight flush" then? - yep, we're currently in search of a C3 and C4.

Me too. I bought a 2000 C5 last year (modding it madly since, gave up counting how much $$$$ I pour into that one) and got the bug big time . So much I just bought a 2007 Z06. And I'm not even American. What would it be if I were !

Okay, I'm on my 4th Vette. That ain't bad.

I do find myself at work walking to a window to see how the Vette is doing in the parking lot. Sometimes coworkers bring thiers so our cars have another Vette to play with.

I do make frequent trips to the garage just to stare at her and try to figure out how I got so lucky.

I go to meetings. Luckily we don't have a twelve step program, just six, 1st gear, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, repeat as needed.
