Congrats on the new car, you're gonna love it!


Be careful about taking advice on blowers from peter pan though!


You car will be too fast if you do!

Congrats on your new ride. Bought my first Vette at age 60 and just bought a 2001 convertible last Sept. Wanted one since I was a kid. Now have 2. Going to sell the 82 in the spring. "Welcome to the Forum".
