I feel very welcome  on this site for the short time I have been a member.  I have only asked a couple of questions, and have been very impressed with both the number and quality of responses.  I have also been impressed with the amount of knowledge and expertise of some of the members.  They helped me with my problem (Tach Drive) in a very easy to understand way.  I now realize that this problem has been addresed at least a dozen times before, but they were very patient with me.  Thank you to all.

 

Although I am new to this Forum ( A year ago I didn't know these types of forums existed) I have owned Corvettes for many many years and thought I knew alot about them.

 

I bought my first Vette in 1970.  A '69 427, 390 hp Riverside Gold Coupe. 

(By the way I really like Miki's pictures.  Looks very familar.)  In 1973, I bought the Corvette that I still own today.  A '72 350, 200 hp auto Targa Blue Coupe.  In those days, we didn't even call em C3's.  Can you believe it??  You can say the Corvette has been a very important part of my life.  I feel very fortunate to have been able to hang on to it through school, family, wife, kids, jobs, moving, etc. etc. etc.  And yes, I still have the same wife that I had in 1972.  One more thing, in 1974 the blue coupe was the only car we owned when our daughter was born.  Can you imagine bringing a baby home from the hospital in a Corvette today?  I guess life was just simpler.

 

Back to the Forum......... I really enjoy getting to know the guys and gals that post often.  (I really do feel that I know them.)  I also appreciate the good natured banter back and forth between them.  Very entertaining!  Lastly, I feel that I have learned a great deal about the sports car that I have owned for many years, and look forward to the sharing of information in the future.

 

Sorry if this has gotten a little long.

Thanks for the opportunity.
