The New Guy
Just thought I'd introduce myself, I'm Mike Sr. I bought my 1st Vette when I was 18. It was a 1961 triple black with a squeezed front end. I had it for 3 months and got into an accident and didn't have the cash to put it back together. Sold it...big mistake. So here I am 44 years later and just bought a 2006 silver convertible, with a black top. The thing that make it different are the gray seats. What is bothering me the most is I picked it up on Jan. 12 and it was 2 degrees above zero, drove my new Vette strait home, into the garage and there it sits. (still too cold out) Oh well spring is coming, Ill have a great time then.
Looking forward to getting good information and ideas from all of you.
