Hello- After 40 years of anticipation I bought my first Vett, a '96 coupe 34k miles. Even more fun than I thought it'd be. I have lots to learn and I'm excited that there's a forum like this with good people to help me out. Thanks

Other info:
34k miles.
Initial impressions:
What I especially appreciate: fastback, wide tires, Delco Bose stereo, clam shell hood, integrity of finish after 21 years.
Not so much: apparent distress to body when driving w/o Targa top. Tires that are 19 years old. Tire wear is ok but I didn't check the DOT code before I bought it.

Greetings from a fellow Buckeye! I've got a nearly stock 1990 with about 40k (have not checked lately) and still love the ride after 8 years now. Waiting for Spring to get her back on the road.
