I just wanted to say hello to everyone, I'm new to the forums and to owning a Corvette. My name is Steve, I'm the Corvette Service Advisor at Bernard Chevy in Libertyville. I already know some of you guys and look foward to meeting the rest of ya's.

I just bought a 01 Millennium Yellow 6-speed convertible on Mon., and hope to see you guys around.

What contest in hell did I win to get this guy as front man at the dealership?... Just kidding, Steve is a good guy and will do a great job for us and for the customers. Please feel free to tease him about his "Barbie" Vette.

Ha. Ya, the only bad part about working here is that I generally only get to see and meet you guys when you have problems with your cars. But I'm up at HP quite a bit as well, will be even more now that I own one.

We can do performance stuff here too, though.

Yellow, 2001 6-speed convertible with a little over 31,000 miles on it. It's very clean, but not too fast.
