Default First Vette for me -C5

Well guys I finally own one after oogling them since I was a kid.( I was born in 1947) I just got a real nice 2001 C5 w/ relatively low mileage in very sweet condition. I'm looking forward to getting more involved in personalizing my ride so I imagine this forum is the place to hang out. Thanks in advance to those who are helpful.
Jeff
BTW-how do I post a photo of my new car?
