Welcome. You'll find tons of great tips, suggestion, etc. from some very smart people here. I don't know how familiar with the forum you are, but take some time and explore the search function and different sections that are dedicated to specific aspects of our cars.

Oh, and post a few pics of your ride!

OK. You want to copy and paste the IMG Code into your post. If you don't have it (you should if you're using Photobucket) right click on the pic, click properties, copy the Location, and type [IMG] before it and [/IMG] after it.

Welcome to CF. As you can tell, the forum can save you time and frustration. It can also cost you major $$$ if you catch the mod bug.

Best place ever for friends, Vette information, and yes an occasional useless fact, and of course the tons of ribbing from the Senior Members.

^^You have to join a picture sharing site like photobucket. You post your pictures on that site and then you link those pictures in your post.



Here is a link to a tutorial.
