Hi, NEW OWNER
!! WORNING THE PERSON WRIGHTING THIS IS DYSLECTIC(and a immigrant) YOU CAN TRY TO READ THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK !!
Hi everybody,
Lets start of by introducing my self, born in 84 in Poland moved to U.S.A in 97 purchased my first CORVETTE in 2007 that’s the story of my life LOL. Ok the CAR is a 1997 white-black coupe with 80,000 miles. I had owned couple different cars before this one like 97 t-bird, 99 f-body convertible, 02 C320 and right now I’m lucking for another beater car for the winter(Honda or Toyota L) I live in Chicago.
I have to tell you that this forum is amazing I literally spend abut 4 hours on it a day. I work at night at a bank (Image Exchange) so I sit in front of a computer all day. I was riding this forum abut 2 mouths now and I finally got some time to say hello.
Now beck to the car there are some things that I need to do like the sit movement problem(when braking) the fuel sender unit likes to act up and then the car shows me LOW FULE, the only problem I’m concern is that some times after long drive the car makes grinding noise wile turning and it feels like the beck tire doesn’t want to move like there some pressure.
I’m not a mechanic I know couple things abut cars but not really had the chance to work on one to much with I would love to, but I always have the filing that I would mess it up more
.
I’m planning to put the car in a garage in a mouth or so [depending how fast I can get another car ($$?)] and try to do some work to it myself
Well here are some pictures off the car and me in Wisconsin dells.
Ageing sorry if you cant reed this or if you cant understand this
