Default PNW Vette owner

I've been lurking the site for awhile and finally decided to register. My name is Jon I'm 42 and live in WA state. Married with 2 kids and one on the way.

Anyways I'm on my second Vette, first one didn't last very long. I was 23, divorced and in the military. So I bought a C4 black with mods and it only lasted 1.5 months.



Well now that I'm a bit more mature we had this one come in on a trade. 2001 6 speed, Z51 package, 53k miles Tigershark body kit front facia and rear bumper. 19" & 20" Wheels, cold air intake, AP headers, Bassani exhaust.



Since I bought it in June I have had the rear painted, front nose repainted, and a Monster stage 2 clutch w/ lightweight flywheel installed. Also resealed the rear main and trans.





Anyways thought I would drop in and say hi. Next mod will be a LS6 OEM intake if I can figure out what year I'm looking for.
