Hey there, just received my first Vette. A 2003 C5 red in colour. My father-in-law passed away and left it to me in his will. He was a great friend to me and we got along very well. I will miss him dearly!

Anyway, hope to meet some new friends here and just a warning.....I will have plenty of questions.

kind regards

Bill

Thanks very much Eric! I'll post some photos in a couple of months, it's pretty wintery here at the moment.
I was just pricing tires today

not totally sure whether or not I even need them yet but was just curious about pricing.
Tires are alot more than I imagined them to be......any advice?

Welcome Bill. Sorry about your Father-in-Law. He must have been a very good friend; he left you something that will not only keep is memory alive ... but will bring you many more good ones of your own.

Welcome.
