Default hey all!

i guess this is the first stop...
about me?
well, i'm technically savvy, black is the only color and if it pumps fuel/air - it can pump it faster.
the car?
'08 coupe, stick, 3lt, chrome five-spokes. it was sitting on the dealer lot that i had been driving by for a couple months. one day it spoke to me, as all vehicles destined to be mine do.
other interests?
bikes. mean, tire shredding roadracers. i have a few national championships with an amateur roadracing org.
peeves?
people that don't use turn signals, can't hold a steady speed or otherwise get in the way(left lane morons).
gripes about our vette?
i'll post in the general...

ps. i'm married. my wife loves vettes...particularly the '63. the '08 is actually hers. our other interests include marksmanship. i have to install a gun rack for the wife's shotgun...just in case someone should be so inconsiderate as to open their door into the side of our car.

thanks for a great site!

wow. hey, thanks for all the replies.
the car is really awesome. it's (my)her first vette. i'm already lookin' for small upgrades/accessories...splash guards, grill, seat covers, cargo tray and tint.
it's so good to have a place to go and check/find some really good products. being a bike guy, i know jack about cars of this caliber and i'm picking up a lot here and there.
saw some vid on the NPP and got wind of the possibility of fitting the controller to an aftermarket system. anyone know about that?
