Default Tampa NEWB.

Thank you Brian (Roush) for referring me to this site. I too am a former Roush owner (2 of them) and have just purchased not only my first convertible, not only my first Corvette, by my first Chevrolet. Never thought I would own a Chebby. I am more than impressed with this car and the mod bug is closing in fast. I don't leave em stock for long as you'll see in my former ride.

LMAO !!! So no different than any other forum in that aspect.

I think you and I know the game from being moderators elsewhere. Thanks for the invite here. I've looked up some tech stuff to resolve a couple issues and answer some questions already.
