c5 from the Motor City
Hi all,
I'm happy to say that I'm finally a Corvette owner! I bought my 99 about a month ago and haven't done much to it yet. 6 speed targa top with brand new F1 run-flats, a corsa exhaust, and upgraded lighting so far... LED headlights are a game changer!!
I work in finance but have an automotive background and went to college for automotive technology about 10 years ago.
I'm itching to get to work on my car but don't plan on doing much of anything until winter since I won't be driving it anyway.
I'm happy to be here and thank you in advance for helping me along the way. I hope I can add something to this group as well.
Any questions let me know, thanks!
