Default My new C5 Vert!

Hey all,
I wanted to introduce myself, I've posted some on the C6 side but wound up purchasing a C5 over the weekend. I'll get up some more pictures when I get a chance.

The details...
2004 C5 'Vert, Spiral Grey, Light Stone Interior, Black Top
35.5k miles
6 speed manual
1SB
Z51
Z06 Cold Air Intake/Air filter? (I'll get pictures up)
Corsa Touring Exhaust (Axle Back)

It's good to be part of the group!

Can someone tell me how to post pictures?

Congrats! Sounds like a great car and you managed to find a nice low-mile version

Posting pics is pretty easy, just start a free photobucket account (www.photobucket.com) and upload your pictures there. From photobucket you hover over the uploaded picture and click the "IMG" tag. It will copy the code and you just paste it into the message text window on the forum.

Congrats! I just wired the full payment for my '04 Commemorative Edition Convertible, with 1,316 miles on it. I'm sending an enclosed carrier to pick it up in Minnesota to bring to Colorado, hopefully by the end of the week (4-5 days travel) or next Monday. Here she is: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...y-got-one.html

For pix, it's easiest to go to photobucket.com and create a free account, upload your pictures, then you'll see a box with several urls in it pop up by the pictures, each individual one, that is. Look at the last item in the box, and the url will start with "img" and when you click on it (at least with a Mac), the img url will copy to your clipboard and you just paste that into the body of your message. Do a "Preview" and you should see your picture, not the url. Enjoy!

Best regards,
LG "Zeek" Duff
