Hello from Lexington SC
Well, I finally pulled the trigger and got a Corvette. I've wanted one for a while and picked up an absolutely immaculate 2000 C5 in torch red with a 6-speed manual. I've been binging on youtubes the past few days to learn as much as possible about any issues with the C5 and have picked up a lot. Hope to get a lot more from this group and to contribute as well, since I've been wrenching on my rides for a very long time. I'll be taking more pics tomorrow and will update my avatar with a suitable pic. Looking forward to getting to know some of you.
