Default New Guy - Now with Pictures!

I'm new to the board. I have an 2008 4LT, Crystal Red. (First Vette) I haven't done anything to it because I too busy reading these posts. I getting many of my questions answered.

Looking forward to asking some questions.

Thanks for looking.

Welcome to the forum and the family FNG. I'm betting only a few of us know what that means. Congratulations on the new ride. You've sure come to the right place to learn about all things Corvette. Have a look around and don't hesitate to post and ask as you go. Here's to many miles of smiles.

Welcome aboard fellow Crystal Red owner! We do our best here to help, though we do sometimes "poke" at each other. Please be sure to read the owners manual many times, then I bet you can help others too. Post some pictures!

Photos need to be hosted out on the net in order to link them into posts. The best place I've found is Photobucket.com and it is free with a simple sign-up. Have a look at this tutorial and I suspect it will answer all.

Welcome and congrats on your first Vette! Whatever questions you're thinking of, do a search first. Odds are it's come up (several times) before. Having said that, don't be bashful about starting a thread. CF is a really great resource for info. Enjoy!

Jim:
As another Jim, I can tell you this forum is really a wonderful resource. Lots of great info and only a few nattering nabobs of negativity. Enjoy your new toy....at least you don't have to go to the garage, peek under the cover to see your car and hope for Spring like us Northerners do.

One of my many contributions to world peace was having all my Iraqi police students saying "Just Chillin'" and my Hungarian Major running around Baghdad calling all the new guys "FNGs".
