Default 'vette virgin

Just bought my first 'vette last week. It is an '86. I got it off of a car lot with 80,000 miles on it. Owning a Corvette has always been my dream and its nice to familiarize with people because most just don't understand... Anyways I am not very knowledgable about cars so I thought this would be a great way to learn a few things. I got the car fever from my father who I look to for everything car but unfortunately I am away in the Army and I am a little scared. I don't do things half *** and when it comes to my car I want to do what is best, not neccessarily cheapest. The guys in my unit and around me think they are mechanics but they are in no way trustworthy enough for my awesome 'vette. Well, my name is Sarah and I am glad to join the forum!

Hi Sarah! I'm a new owner too, an 82 CE. Hope you are getting as much joy as I am from owning a Vette.
Cheers!
