Default New guy from MN!

Hey guys been lurking awhile and figured it was time to join. I'm from Minnesota and recently picked up a 98 Vette and am looking to learn a thing or two from the pros. My first car was a 94 Firebird Formula and I sold it about 6 years ago and have been missing it ever since. I picked up the Vette about 3 weeks ago and have been searching Corvette Forums ever since for tips and how to's. Just lowered it lastnight thanks to this awesome site!

Pic right after I got it home after driving it 2 hours through some snow showers.... (Didn't have access to a trailer and was in a rush..lol)



Spent the next week cleaning and detailing it...

Here's to warm weather and clean roads!
