A little self introduction:

I am on my 2nd Vette and now commited for life. This year I totalled (no fault of my own) my very first Vette C6 Z51 3LT, although it was replaced by a C7 Z51 3LT less than a month ago, I will always miss the first one.

My wife has her own C6 Z51 3LT, although now I am really going to have to work hard to let her beat me.

We live in Cypress Texas, I know there is a lot of Vettes out this way, so we are currently looking for a Vette Club in Cypress or looking to start one up.
