Default My first Corvette
Hello all, my name is Nick and I am from the bay area in california. I just recently purchased my first corvette and thought i would join in on the forum because im sure i will have many questions. The car i just got is a 2000 c5 and im excited to start with a blank canvas (very stock car) and make it my own.
