I thank all of you in C5 General as this is where I spend 80% of my time learning and trying to help when I can, pretty hard to always help as I have never turned a wrench to fix anything on my Stocker Vette


You might want to buy some wrenches just in case you need to use the knowledge.

Just kidding; couldn't resist.

Congrats.
