Hello All!
I came across Corvette Forum after doing a search for info on owning and maintaining Corvettes. I purchased my first Corvette, a Torch Red C5 with 48,000 miles on it, in June of '97 and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about maintaining it and the different mods that I can do myself. My DD is 4x4 Ranger, but I take the C5 out on the interstate when it's not raining. It's stored undercover from November to April. I really enjoy reading all the great threads from other members and hope I can contribute to this site. Will post photos of my C5 soon!

Would I be wrong to assume you meant June '07?
Just teasing you.

Torch Red is the greatest. Have fun in the C5 section.

Thanks for catching that typo Rick. Yes I did purchase my C5 in June '07, not June '97. Thanks for the welcome everyone!
