C5 Newbee
Hello everyone!! I have been a Forum member for 6 years, but stayed mainly in the C4 tech section. Saturday I picked up forum member "ScottN"s 2001 LPE TT650 Vert. I'm looking forward to learning more about my new Vette from the C5 experts.

A couple of pics.

Welcome - but I'm a little confused....you state that you bought a white convertible and you show a pic of it. But then right below that you show a C5 with what appears to be a hard top....are both pics the same car? Enlighten me please!
