New Vette!
New to the forum...just thought I'd share my new purchase. 2000 Black FRC 6 spd Z51. I LOVE the car, but find that I'm dumping lots of money into this vehicle already. I guess that comes with buying an 11 year old car right?

Thanks! I haven't figured out how to post the pictures yet. By the way, it only has 39,000 miles on it!

Nice looking car! "Dumping money" into your car is a disease contracted within the first few minutes of grasping the wheel. It is associated with a direct emptying of your wallet.

If your worried about dumping money into your car stay off this forum. It spreads the disease like wild fire. Nice car. Drive it!

Welcome brother FRC. Some of the mods are great, some are not IMHO. The entire design is great from GM, just drive and enjoy her.

Congrats on the nice find. Enjoy it. Don't forget the "Corvette Tax" that you will pay on everything. LOL
