Default Intro

Hello All
New Vette owner, a 2000 coupe two days old to me. From browsing this forum earlier today I know many of my "dumb" questions will receive answers from some really great people. Thanks for having me and I hope to get to know many of you soon.

Thanks MRMTRTRND.

I'm sure that problems will crop up and although I really enjoy working on cars, all this newer and electronically controlled stuff is going to tax my little grey cells. I've already discovered the turn signal issue and so far the emergency flasher band aid has worked but I won't be able to allow it to go unrepaired. Being in Michigan the car will be parked in the garage all winter so Ill have time to deal with some of the problems.

To all that have welcomed me and those that will later, THANK YOU. I must admit that buying this toy has been a challenge and also somewhat scary. My last toy was a 69 Camaro with a 434 cu. in. small block making about 600 H.P.. Everything was simple to work on and no weird electronics to deal with.
First question: are all C5's so noisy inside? Thanks.
