Default First time Corvette owner

I recently found this forum, and just LOVE the information!

As a newbie to owning a corvette, I think this site is gonna be just what I need. Mine is a 2004 convertible, black/gray. And OH how I love it!

Anyway, I already found info on how to change a turn signal bulb, and I'm ready to tackle it.

Thanks much to everyone!

Congrats on your new ride and welcome to the forum.

Here's another easy way to post pics - go to www.tinypic.com
Select choose file and find the picture you want to post on your computer and select. Click the “Upload Now” green button. Type in the scrambled words/letters and upload. After the upload you’ll see share this image. The 2nd on the list is an IMG code for forums and message boards. Copy that IMG address and paste it into a post and your photo will be displayed in the post.

I use this method because you don't need an account and you don't need to upload your pictures to an "account" on line. You just upload them directly from your computer to the forum. This is what I use:
