I am 60 years old, been a ASE certified master tech for 35 years.....and I guess going through my 2nd ....or okay, maybe my 3rd mid life crisis.....just bought a 1971 LS5 4 speed Corvette. As a usual mechanic is it is now scattered in every possible way repairing the sins of past owners....But I do find it to be very solid for a 46 year old car.
I have been lurking aroundhere for several weeks, and this is a great site with a wealth of information.
Looking forward to gaining and sharing knowledge. Thanks
