Default 01 TR Coupe

Hello everyone.
I'm 30 years old and my 51yr old father just purchased his first corvette. YAY! I've always been an import guy, FR engine IRS always! So obviously I'm already falling in love with this machine.
Dad's got the money, I've got the know-how so I made this account. It's a different class of people on this forum than I'm used too on those ricer websites. What a breath of fresh air.

Well here's many to many mods and safe miles!!!

Cheers,
David S.

F.Y.I. My last car was a Skyline GTR powered Nissan 240sx Seriously.
