Default New Member introduction

Hi folks, My name is Jim.Big Yankee fan (I lived in CT for 68 years) Here’s a bit about me.
72 years old now living just outside of Dallas. 4 grown up kids and 4 grandkids.
my past Corvettes were a 67 big block (not original) a 65 fuelie coupe, Glen green saddle interior,NCRS top flight, I met Zora at a NCRS show many years ago he said that 65 fuelie was his favorite corvette. Any way I just picked up a 2003 anniversary vette with 74k miles on it and trying to learn about it.
Thanks all

Howdy, neighbor, and welcome! One of my good friends is from NY and a lifelong Yankees fan to the point that he even has it on his personalized tags here in Texas. C5s are awesome Corvettes with, IMO, the best rear end in Corvettedom. The Forum will be a great place for you to learn all about the good, the bad, and the secret tricks of a C5. Congratulations on e club, it was time! Maybe I’ll see you around down here.
