Hi, All! Just joined. I've got an '89 coupe[1yr], just out of the paint shop[mag red], Al Knoch seat covers. Looks[and runs] like a new car!!! I'm 58, and this is my 1st Vette. I've played with many Chevs over the years- Malibus, Bel Airs, Impalas, Novas, etc. Drooled over Vettes since the 50's. Finally got one. Boy, what I've been missing!!!

I'm with ya, I've had mine for about 5 months and whenever I'm in the garage working on it, my wife says "you're out here with HER again!!!"

Welcome to the dark side!

Welcome

I too just got mine in December and the grin won't go away. I too went from other Chevy's, 1969 Suburban, 1967 Chevy II wagon and 1970 Malibu Convertible and I don't miss them a bit. All good rides but the Vette is great. If you take/post pictures, just try to take one with you in the frame without a big stupid grin!

Welcome and good luck!

 

[WiMark]

Many thanks

Thanks for all the kind words. Talk about that stupid grin- My wife is laughing at me.... says I'm acting like a little kid. This past weekend, I went to a neighboring small town that had a gathering of Jags on display. Well, I parked the Vette not too far away, and you should have seen the crowd around it!!! It was such a hoot! The Jag guys were not too happy. Some comments about plastic cars, American Iron, garden variety Chevys, etc. That's O.K.
Incidentally, Mine has saddle interior. I will deal with pics when the sun comes out for more than 15 minutes! Thanks, again. Mark

Welcome....I'm a twelve year owner and all I can say is that it only gets better every year you own it. Hope I never grow up.

Picked up my first vette just over a year ago. It is an '89 coupe also. I love the car. It is my weekend ride and I can't wait to take it out whenever I get the chance.

So far, I have been replacing some worn out items.

Good luck with your car. I know you will enjoy it.
