Default New to the camp....
Hello everyone, yes I can say I am a newb to the vette forums, but not a newb to the bowtie power brigade. I recently joined to get some insight on ownership from "America's Sports car" and other thoughts on em' from you all. Unlike most of you all i don't own a vette just yet, currently working on a project 72 monte carlo, but soon i hope to afford a Black C5 coupe with a 6 speed... always been my passion since i was a young boy to own a black bowtie, and a vette at that. Personally, I as i enter my 3rd year of college im apperciating road course action more than drag strip violence, and hopefully i can sell my monte carlo later this year to scrouge up enough for a down payment on a used vette. I am looking forward to all of your comments and opinion's, and discussions's, as I soon hope to enter the vette ownership league.

Welcome to the Forum!

I didn't find the Forum for almost a month after I bought mine and for a variety of reasons I wish I'd have found it alot earlier. Good luck with the acquisition of a Vette. Great color choice

thanks for all the welcomes guys and girls, and yes dragstrip violence im getting very sick and tired of hearing on and on the mighty japanese sports cars mainly nissans Skyline, and i enter the vette, many a mouth indeed shuts its mouth. Besides, I've driven a few vettes on back roads especially Pacific Coast Highway once and it was exciting to say the least. Im sure ill have a heck of a time searching for a black C5..all I need now is a part time job (since my credit is clean) and parents would help out with insurance and such.Anyways, let the youger generation take hold of the vette's legacy.
