Intro

Hello, My name is James and I am the proud owner of a 2006 Sunset Orange Convertible Vette. My wife has nicknamed it "Bitch" so when people ask where I am at, she can say, "He is out with the Bitch"! LOL I live in Colorado and love to take the vette into the mountains for drives with the top down.

I look forward to connecting with folks and will be asking for some DIY advice on the few things I need to do. I've already fixed the HUD for about $4 in parts instead of the $1700 the dealership wanted.

Welcome, very nice ride. I’m not very familiar with that color, but it sure looks great. It is cool to hear you were able to fix the HUD at such a savings. Enjoy the mountain drives.
