I have been lurking here for a few weeks and am just now jumping in to say hello. Alot of really good information here and I appreciate it.

This is my first Vette which is an 03 50th Edition C5. Just picked up the plates today, dealer service on Thursday and my wife will probably have to drag me out of it every day.

Can't wait!
