Hello real is Jeffrey but call me Jeff. Been checking out the forum and decided to join. I've been a auto mech. and Rv tech for a lot of years so I know something's but don't claim to know it all. So that's why I'm here to learn more from the elders. I'm buying a 2004 C5 Corvette This week and making it into a show car for my wife and I to have fun. It's a Automatic only because the wife can't drive a manual. So to allow her to drive and have fun too I settled. But not the end of the world. My family has been in the transmission business for over 65 years so that's no problem there. Added bonus I love to do all my own work.

Hope to make a lot of friends here and find some car show friends too. God bless

Thank you Dave that's just what I was looking for. A lot of good reads on here. Don't have to ask any questions cause looks like others have asked them before.

Hey another Chicopee resident. If you see a silver grand sport convertible or a laguna blue c7 coupe driving around town don't forget to wave
