Hello everyone,
I am another new blood to the Corvette family. I have always wanted to own one of these Fine American Muscle cars but never could justify spending the money due to being a family man. Now the kid is on his own and it's just me and the Queen, it's all about us now! The avatar is a pic of my car, 2001 Torch Red C5, Auto shift. I really don't all out race but do drive it hard with respect, you know what I mean. I am very happy to have found this forum to learn more about taking care of my beautiful Corvette and possibly help someone fix theirs. I see now how the Corvette owners are a very different breed of individual, once you take the first test drive you have to buy it! I live in Texas around the San Antonio area and have been a mechanic most of my life and love to improve and maintain fine automobiles, mine especially. Currently at the time of this post, working in Afghanistan for one of the OEM's that provide military trucks that our soldiers take on missions and very proud to be helping these young men and women stay alive to get old and enjoy their grandchildren.
I have read many posts here and what I like the most in all I have read is this. People do not bad mouth each other or act childish which is very important to me and really offer excellent advice to one another. That is why I felt inclined to join and post this little write up. There is nothing better for a little R&R than a road trip and having my wife by my side and hearing the rumble of my exhaust, I truly find it stimulating to my senses, and never had that with any other performance car other than this Corvette. Really a remarkable piece of art.
Thanks,
