New guy in Arkansas

[five-oh]

Hey, everybody. My name's Bob.I just found this forum a couple of days ago and I already feel at home! I've joined three other 'vette forums, but feel most comfortable here, already. Seems to be much less drama. A little about me and my journey to corvette ownership- I'm a 33 year old, married father of one little girl, I'm a patrol sergeant for my hometown's police department (been a cop for nearly 9 years), and my current corvette revival project is a '93 Artic white coupe that I rescued from an uncaring previous owner. It now has bright metallic blue vinyl rally stripes on it to make it stand out a bit, and we're starting on the interior now. The '93 is my second corvette- my first was a '84 that had also been abused. I got her running and driving, but became annoyed at the high "corvette tax" and sold it. Didn't take long until I regretted that decision and when I found the '93 dirt cheap, it followed me home. Yeah, the wife didn't buy that either,lol. I'm looking forward to many days here and plan on collecting all the advice I can from you guys- and gals, of course.

Welcome to the CAC, Five-oh!

We'd love to see some pics of the C4 that 'followed' you home.

Another -Welcome to the CAC- post. Glad to have you here.



Oh, just wondering what part of Arkansas and have you been to the Eureka Springs Corvette Weekend before?

Five-oh,

We all want to welcome you. Love your story of Corvette ownership. The '93 is a great C4, and I'm glad you're doing her over.

Thanks everybody for the welcome- I'll try to get pics up next time I'm at town. My slow dial-up doesn't like posting pics. Tuna, I've never made it to Eureka Spring's corvette week end, as I didn't know about it when I had the '84 and I didn't get the '93 on the road until November. I live just outside of Morrilton, about 55 miles northwest of Little Rock. I love Eureka Springs, my wife and I had our honeymoon there and was there in april of this last year for the Kustom Kemps of America show. We'll try to make the '10 Corvette weekend.

Welcome five-oh,
I am a consultant related to the gas well drilling process. I usually stay in Clinton or Searcy when in Arkansas. I have been as colse to Morrilton as Solgohachia. I'll try to PM you when I schedule another trip to Clinton. BTW, how do you pronounce Solgohachia?

 

[Z06Man]

Good luck with the '93.

You were within 10 miles of my house if you've been to solgohachia. In fact, with all the gas operations going on around here, I'll bet you've been to Hattieville, which is where I actually live, off of Highway 213 and 95. Best way to prononce Solgohachia is to break it down- Sol- go- hachee- that's about the easiest way to explain it, lol. Lot of folks around here getting into the gas industry. Gotta admit it's been crossing my mind to try it lately. Seems to be a secure job and God knows it has to pay better than coppin'. Give me a shout when you're around. bob.
