Default New C5 owner
Howdy!, My name is Shane, and i just bought my first corvette.Its a 1997 C5 .

I got a great deal on it because of some errors the previous owner couldnt figure out. I came here and fixed everything, for free! This is the reason i decided to join. Seems like a great place if you have questions or answers. With that being said, I am glad to be here!
