New Guy Here
Hello. Name is Bill, bought my first Vette in May, a 2003 50AE six speed convertible. Love it. Have wanted a Vette since my dad bought a new 1999 convertible when I was 12. Looking forward to learning a lot as my tech knowledge is limited. Thanks for having this forum!

Thank you everyone! This place seems like a great and fun resource for a new Vette owner who is both eager and lacking in tech know-how!
