Default New guy from Ohio

Wanted to say hi to all you Vette owners out there. New guy here with a '99 Vert bought used last year with 575 original miles on it. Black on black on black. Already have a few mods done, but always looking for new ideas.

welcome john! hold on to your pocket as you will find many more mods here then you ever imagined!!!

Good low miles. Mines not as low but still watch out to make sure all the fluids are changed, joints oiled, etc since perhaps these areas were neglected in PM due to the mileage aspect!

Cheers!

Welcome to the site from a former Buckeye. OSU grad '62 and a Phi Delt to boot! Lived and worked there for over 40 years. I finally got tired of all the slush and overcast skys, sold my house and land to Les Wexner (Kitzmiller Road) and moved here to Florida. That was back in '93 and have never looked back. My daughter and 3 grandsons live in Newark.
