Default I am a newbee

I am new to this forum and have posted three threads. I have received very positive feed back and apprecaite the ability to discuss areas with some Vette veterans. I had a C4(1995) and traded it on a BMW Z4 (we all have our weak moments) which turned out to be a very bad mistake. Bottom line is BMW repurchased the Z4 under the lemon law, I am now back where I belong in a C5 and very happy. Thanks again and I am looking forward to continued discussions, Duds.

I went from BMW to Porsche to C5 (took the long road, but happy with the end result). I have to say I loved all the cars, but the C5 I am the mopst compassionate about. I feel as part of the car since I now do most of all my own MODS.

Welcome back!
