Default New guy from AL

Just bought a 02 HT 6spd. Like a kid with a new toy. I've owned a 67, 58, 66, and a 88 in that order. Still got the 66 BB. What a difference 40 years worth of technology makes! I think I can learn a lot in this forum.

Congrats on the 02 vette!! Welcome to the Forum. They are great for learning more about vettes and you will meet a lot of new friends. With your vette experience I am also sure you can provide a lot of answers for other forum members.

Thanks Ken, but you're too kind. I'm an old guy that's technologically challenged. I can fix anything on my 66 but I haven't even figured out what all the buttons on the dash are for on the C5.

You are too modest! You have all the basic knowledge. The Laws of Physics are still the same. You just have a little catching up to do on the newer pieces.

i plasticfan,

I am not to far from you in Guntersville, Al. I have two C4's and one
C6. I would be happy to help on any c5 problems you have. I have done alot of work on my C4's.

Just a thought. It would be great if we could start a loose club of corvette owners who actually work on their on cars. Let me know what you think.
