Some of these guy know everything about everything. Usually, they are right.

Other guys lie about what they don't know.

Forum keeps these guys under control with the forum regs:

Half of the lies we tell must be true.

Sweet ride! Welcome to the fold. Don't forget to wave.
As for mod money, do what I do, work two jobs, get in all the OT you can, and beg the wife.

Who's lying? You think I didn't have to kiss the wifes butt, and get her an oceanside room for the Ocean City vette weekend, to get those seat skins from Chip?

Congrats on that beautiful car.

You've received some good advice on early reading.

Getting your owner's manual in electronic form allows it to be searched on your computer.

Reading this board and the tech board and learning to use the site's search tools will help too.

There are very few topics that are truly new. Rather the issues encountered by new owners tend to recurring. That said, there will always be members with the time and patience to help you.

Again, welcome to the site.
