Greetings
Greetings. My name is Jim and I'm in Apple Valley, CA. My girlfriend and I just just bought a Pewter, 2002 convertible, six speed that has 31,200 miles on it. We were having fun with it until the security system decided to lock the column. Had to tow it to the dealer (not fun) and hopefully they can fix it. The car has been lowered, has Brembo four piston brakes on the rear, cross-drilled rotors on the front, five point SCCA roll bar, HAD (past tense) a racing seat in the driver's side and five point harness on the driver's side and four point on the passenger side. The crowning glory is the American flag painted across the entire rear end. We also have an '81 that we've had since '99 but we'll probably end up selling that one after I do a little work on it. I have already put this forum to good use to find out about the column problem. Thanks to all for the info.
I'm a retired Air Force Master Sergeant, so I do have a Vet 'Vette and the GF is a nurse.
