New Guy
New Guy here, my name is Dana Smith.
Born in 1949 I grew up wanting a vette every since I was big enough to know what a car was.
I retired in June after 41 years as a boilermaker, had a little money saved up and fulfilled my lifelong dream.
I bought a C5 2003 Z06, with 22,000 miles.
Hoping to learn a few thing on here that I don't know about my car.
About me, other than a boilermaker, I'm a father and grandfather, champion Motorcycle Bracket Racer, also retired from that in 2012.
Glad to be here with y'all.
