Default New Guy! sort a'

Hey Guys, I just pulled the trigger on a 2001 Vette. Sold my 95, it was a beautiful car, but I must say, Im in love with my new ride. If I could figure out how to post pix I would/will. Glad to be in the c5 era! This will be my fourth vette I have owned!

Big step forward from the C4. Only thing I'd miss would be the clamshell opening all the way up. Enjoy the new ride.

Congrats on your C5. Hope you get many trouble free miles from it.

For pics, you might want to sign up for a tinypic.com account. It's free and once you're signed up, just upload some pics from your computer, then copy the IMG link into your post here on the forum. The pics should show up.

Congrats'!!!!!!! Held onto my 95 until early this year. The C5 was a great ride, it never let me down thru 90k miles. Only let her go because it got to the point, getting over the hump was becoming very uncomfortable!

Congrats on the new ride. I always use photobucket to post pics because my phone is my camera and computer. There is many methods you can use to post pics just find one that works for you.
