Default Thanks...

Just wanted to say "thanks" to everyone here for all of their input on this forum. As a owner of a new (to me) Vette for the first time I can say that the info I have found here has been priceless...

More importantly, I want to say thanks for helping me to change my attitude about the car. Granted, it is a 2003 - a 12 year old car, but I was still was paranoid about it...not wanting to mess it up...nervous about driving it...putting too many miles on it...

You guys taught me that it does me no flippin' good to let it sit in the garage. One post I read awhile ago said something to the effect of "if you let it sit you are keeping it nice for the next guy". I'm not planning on selling anytime soon so that is right on the money.

Drive it...enjoy it!!

THANKS!!

They are meant to drive and enjoy. Summers here are short so not to take it out is a good day wasted.

I have been a member on many automotive forums over the years and corvette forum is by far the best. Some much knowledge and insight available here. Anytime I face an issue this is the first place I come.

I don't think I could have pulled the trigger on my Vette without this forum. And I am happy to have purchased a garage queen and converted it to a daily driver. What a coup!
