I guess I should start a intro thread for myself

I'm 21 and I do not own a Corvette yet though I am currently looking for one. (C5 coupe, 6SPD manual, preferably black (yellow, blue, silver, grey I like too)

I live in the evil city of Omaha, Nebraska and I am a "part time" college student. My major is Computer Science. I am a Computer nerd and a gun nut too.

o and ironically even though I am looking for a manual I haven't learned to drive one yet so if anyone lives in Omaha and is willing to teach me PM I'll reimburse you for your time and gas.

LOL I'm sure people appreciated that. Well my dad could teach me but we need a MT car to teach me on. I am going to ask a friend at work if he is willing, he just got a cobalt w/ a 5spd manual.


Thanks guys for the welcome
