Default Hello from OCMD

Just saying hi from Ocean City, MD

I have an 07 Machine Silver Coupe with the Z51 package.

This is my 3rd vette. First was a charcoal gray 91 coupe, second was a Polo Green 94 coupe.

Got the fever from riding with my uncle in his 1970's and 1980's vettes. I got my 91 when I was 17 as my first car (gotta love Grandparents that could afford to treat their grandchildren to an incredible first vehicle as a 17th birthday present). I later sold my 91 to a friend of My Uncle's and bought his (my uncle) 94 from him. The fellow that bought my 91 traded it on a 93 to Conte's in Vineland NJ. The gentleman that bought my 91 from Conte's is a member on here (actually how I found/joined he site- I saw a post he made 7 years or so ago when he found my original drivers license deep in the bowels of the Charcoal Gray 91). Had to sell my 94 and went vetteless from 2002 to 2006 (Sold the 94 to my Uncle's same buddy- who I believe now owns my Uncles old 99- Unc now has an 06). When I got married to my long time Girlfriend in 06 I gave myself a wedding present and bought the 07.

I live in OCMD and run a Sportfishing charterboat and perform surveys on boats (think home inspections on boats- sort of).

I look forward to chatting with you guys and gals on here.

Hopefully the dude took care of your 91, even though it's a C4 it still needs some respect

Welcome Frank - oh and watch out for the Off-Topic area, one can get lost in the crew

Hope to finally meet you at a cf.com event.
