Default Christmas Present

My wonderful wife of 30 years gave me a Christmas present of a 2005 White Coupe.

This is our second vette our first was a 1969 427 4speed with side pipes.
WOW what a culture shock between the two.

Love the forum and have learned much about my new car from posts. Thank you all.

Thank you all for the welcomes

I have been combing through the forum for "how tos" for the vette.

We are to go to our first Club meeting next week and get info on service here local to us like who to go to and NOT, I'm sure some of them are forum members.

The car to many is an everyday driver but to us its an exotic car that we will baby but use for club and cruzin nights...and future mods
