Where in the northeast do you live? You should definitely check out the northeast section, especially when the spring rolls around. Lots of events and activities around, heck, even I have some nice events planned for the Tri state gang. The forum is a great place to meet new people who love vettes just like you.

Hi Vin. Congrats on the new ride! I live in NJ and put my 2001 vert away for the winter in mid-November. The forum is a great place to learn all about your vette. Also, if you have a question, post it and you'll get the answer.

Remember to wave to other vettes!!!
