Hello,

Spend every week some time in the C2 section, since I have a 65 convertible. But....I noticed myself reading all your post in this C5 sections since I just bought a 99 coupe with all options of this forum. So I wanted to say HI!

The 99 is on its way to me so I am looking forward to the moment I can park her in the garage.....two red vettes.

Personally I am crazy about the vette since many years and in 2004 ownership kicked of for me and really got me hooked. Together with some friends we now have a dedicated corvette storage garage which is also a nice place for us guys to catch up!
