My first Vette..... Finally!

Hello everyone!
I'm so glad I found this forum because I'm going to need a lot of help with the 2004 base model that I purchased in September. It's a high mileage car that needs some TLC, but I've already rebuilt the engine and repaired more than a few issues already. I'll probably be spending a lot of time in the C5 Tech forum due to a newly recuring issue or possibly looking for parts in the marketplace. My goal is to have a nice vette that my wife and I can cruise around in. #paidfor

Welcome to the forum, I've been looking at 99 FRC'S and 2002 Zo6's lately myself.
I've had a 68 vert, 67 coupe and my latest was a 07 base. Once you are hooked you are hooked
