Back to a Vette
Hello all. After many years of Porsche, a Gen 2 Viper GTS and a couple muscle cars, I am back in a Vette. My last one was an 87 with the Doug Nash 4+3 manual. Actually a really nice car and one that I should have kept. The others along the way were fun, but not easy to own or even drive without a ton of worry. Just purchased a 2017 Admiral Blue Stingray with some nice options and 6k miles from original owner. Manual trans car. Pics to follow. Anxious to get caught up on how these Vettes behave, maintenance and other things we need to know to enjoy them. Look forward to all the good advice out there.
