Newbie..............
Hello, I am new to this forum, but I have had Vettes since my first in 1979. I have had a few since then, still wish I had the '79.
Now I have a 1990, and a 2005 Z51, both coupes, both very RED. I am amazed at the differences over the years, yet some how I expect it as well. I enjoy working on my cars myself, probably because of my engineering background, and also because I trust my work more.
Fun cars, in the future I will probably buy more and sell less.............

Welcome to the CF and like most of us here we like to work on our own cars as it seems hard to trust someone to work much less touch your baby.
Seems most of us here are multiple Vette owners, I had a 1977 Vette L82. Got that when I was 19 years old and it was brand new on the showroom floor.
