Hello from the Pacific NW
Hi all,
Name's Don, I've been around for over 62 years and my wife and I just bought our 1st Vette, a '99 Pewter FRC... It's been a daily driver so the miles are up there a little, but now it'll sort of be going in to an old folks home.
I plan on doing a little TLC to it and enjoy the summer cruzin in a nice ride.
Quick story: My 1st ride in a Corvette was when I was about 8 or 9 years old. That was in late Aug. 1954. The uncle of the kid down the road bought one and when he came by to show it off he stuck the two of us in the seat and off we went. Never forgot that.
Well, I've got a few questions so off to the C5 Tech Department.
Thanks,
Don
