Default new here..i'm 17, and i bought my first corvette

Hello, my name is Adrien. A little introduction for you all... i grew up in Oregon, i was born and raised into a Chevrolet family, my dad has owned many Corvette's and Camaro's, i have grown to love these cars. Recently i decided to step up from my Infiniti to the car i just bought by myself from hard work and having a job, a 1995 torch red Corvette. i have been in the shadows of this forum for some time before i decided to join. I am pleased to be part of this website and cant wait to turn wrenches as my father did 20 years ago. i do have a few questions though as to where i can post a thread for parts/info on my car..(i know, i know... typical newbie) i look forward to having a great time here and meeting plenty of you who share the same passion as i do in cars!

Here's a how to post pics:


Easy way to post a picture, go to www.tinypic.com
Select choose file and find the picture you want to post on your computer and select. Click the “Upload Now” green button
Type in the scrambled words/letters and upload.
After the upload you’ll see share this image. The 2nd on the list is an IMG code for forums and message boards. Copy that IMG address and paste it into a post and your photo will be displayed in the post.

You can also use photobucket. Here's a how to link.

Thank you both! Ret.horsecop13 I agree it is, which is why I'm talking it slow and not being stupid like a lot of kids are these days! They don't respect what they have, which is why they are wreckless..
