Just wanted to say hello to everyone. First time Corvette owner.

Just closed the deal on a 2001 coupe, manual trans, pewter color 50k.

been used but well maintained. still finding out what bells and whistles it has. I do have the window sticker so I'll go from there.

been lurking on this form a bit. Man have I got a lot to learn.

form already helped me to find out how to remove the license plate frames.

Thanks ahead of time for all the help....

Default question

Is it normal for new owners to immediately want to start buying things to dress up their vette"s ??

As a guitar player I know about GAS Guitar Acquisition Syndrome... But Corvettes ????

Think I'm in trouble.

They say you'll get "moditis" or something like it after you get your Vette. So be prepared 'cause I hear there is no remedy! Enjoy your car and do it YOUR way.
