Good Morning,

My name is John Dainotto and I just got a '99 C5 torch red convertible from a friend of mine in eastern NC. I live in the beautiful mountains of western NC so I enjoyed a 400 mile trip home in my new baby. Lots to learn from you more experienced guy's. I'm a 72 yr old veteran who has had a "thing" for these cars since my teenage years...

John
