Hello from Italy!
I think I forgot to post here since I registered, so I'll do it now to check off the block.
I bought my vette around April while I was still deployed to Afghanistan, during one of the only times that I had internet, luckily.
I didn't get to see it until I got back to Italy, and then went on leave to SC. And man....what a car!
But one big thing was wrong with it..figures, since I got it for cheap on Ebay.....it was STOCK.
Which brings me here! I've ALREADY bought a FAST 78/78 intake with Callaway ported TB, as well as a VARAAM CAI. Few other little things as well, catch can, short throw, fuel rail, fender stripes, so forth. Next upgrade is the exhaust package, then a cam/head package.
I don't even have the vette here in Italy yet. I've got to wait for my dad to send it on the military's dime.
Well, that's it!

PS: Forgot to mention...the name BigYellaJeep is because I've owned two Jeeps, and one was a old yella CJ-7, and I joined my first forum (jeepforum) with that name. It stuck.
