I'm new to the forum. Just purchased a 2003 white vert with 7900 miles. I've changed the fluids. I guess tires are next. I enjoy this forum and look
forward to meeting some of you at events,etc.

Welcome to the Forum, and the world of C5 Corvette. Warning, driving C5 Corvette will give you superpowers. Use them (mostly) for good...

There are lots of guys here, who will always be willing to help with their considerable knowledge base, about these cars. Mods, repairs, noises, and just about all else. And there will be some good humor, a little teasing, and fun along the way, too.

There are some, a small minority, on the forum, who are not helpful, to new members, or people who are not professional mechanics. Ignore them! Too many good and helpful folks here, with sincere good intentions.

Two rules I like to think of here, perhaps you should know. Never leave home in your C5 without a camera. And, post pictures, to share your experiences with these wonderful cars, often. We want to see your car, scenic backgrounds around your car, pretty girlfriends next to your car, pretty wives (not both at once), and er, uhm, well, never mind.....

Welcome...
Happy holiday, to all.

7900 miles?

Welcome, and if you ever meet the original owner, thank him for storing your new car for 9 years and taking the hit for all that depreciation.

Congrats & welcome!

Happy holiday, to all.
Just remember... im sure you will want other peoples opinions on what you think will look good wheels, paint color, ect, but in the end do what you think will look good and do what makes you happy. There will be some people that will criticize what you do to your car but YOU pay the payments not them. Enjoy you car, and be safe. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Welcome! There is a lot of goof information here for new members. There were many things that I was able to search and find answers for any time I had an issue or a question with the car, whether it be a problem or possible mod
