Default Yep... another new guy

Hi. My name is Roger and I've always been a huge fan of corvettes. Though I don't own one I used to own a car powered by a corvette motor. My dad is a proud owner of a 1977 corvette with a ZZ4 crate motor and th350 tranny that he's completely restoring. It's a real beauty... and if my grades are good in school(freshman at OU) I get to take it out sometimes on the weekends when I go home. I look forward to learning as much as I can about corvettes here!!

Hey Roger, welcome to the forum. Sounds like you will be studying hard so you can get the vette. Good luck,

Roger,

You don't really want a vette.

1. They are a chick magnet; girls will keep you from your studies.
2. They are fast as all hell. Tickets will keep you broke.
3. If you don't pay tickets, you will spend some time in jail.
4. Cars are gorgeous; you will not be able to concentrate on studies.
5. etc.
6. etc.
7. If daddy buys one for you, call us. We can drive it for you while you are in school.

Welcome aboard.

Ed
