Default Thanks for all the welcoming notes

Thanks much to everyone! And thanks for all the tips on how to post pics. I'll figure it out eventually.

From the various places to look here, I figured out how to change my own front turn signal light without having to go to the dealer.

I'm gonna love it!

And yes.... if you see the picture on the left side (avatar? or whatever it's called). That be me beaming. I just LOVE my NetVett!

Congratulations on your new C5! It's beautiful and a convertible too! You'll find the Forum so much fun and helpful. Just ask and you'll get truthful answers as well as silly answers! Enjoy your new car and the Corvette Experience......

On the front is my Samoyed plate, in honor of our beloved Khiva and Tazman. Fitting, since neither would fit into the car.

And now I'm working on getting my own vanity plate. I'll work on more pics in time.
