Welcome to the forum Mr Newbie!
Please post a picture of your Vette.

I use http://beta.photobucket.com/ but this will work as well http://tinypic.com/index.php


EDIT - Actually, you could post pictures of all of the Vettes you've had! We'd love to see them!

Don't feel bad I had no idea what FRC meant. Then someone posted how he was a member of the Flying Roof Club because he didn't secure his targa top. Then after that I found out what it really means.

I have a silver FRC with the ZO6 badging and red FRCs. Therefore I could never belong to the FRC.

Are we clear.

Take that newbies.

Yea, I know, I know. I'm a bit of a newb myself.

Just trying to lighten up the day with my attempt at humor. An obvious fail.

Being a Vert owner, now I know what FRC means. We all live and learn. I just have problems remembering what I learned.

Post up a pic of your current car and while you're at it, pics of the other 7 Vettes would be nice too.

My first Corvette was a 1968 Silver conv, the next six were coupes until I acquired the 02 in September. Never heard of a Vert until I found this site and had no idea what it was. Thanks for the information

"I can relate! I too didn't know a few things till after I spent a few months surfing this Forum. I really thought you had us going though!(smile)"
" '02 looks to be a nice find. Makes me wish I'ld had enough money for a vert."
