Default Hello from Phoenix

I've been lurking this site for a number of months and finally decided to make the plunge. Not a card carrying member of the Corvette family yet, but hope to remedy that in the next few months. Time to start with the stupid questions!

Nice! I had a '79 6.6 (don't know if it was a WS6, I was 15 and didn't know any better) and two 2000 WS6s that were nearly identical. All three black. Now I have an empty garage stall that's eating at me.
