Default Don't Mind Me...

I'll just park myself in this section somewhere an enjoy getting acquainted with you folks a little at a time. I've been a member since 2010, but over on the
next Block. I sold my Nassau Blue C5 Coupe back in March of this year, and picked up this little Jem today. I'm not going to flash a lot of pic on you because
I'm sure you all have seen a '96 Coupe before.
Just wanted to say "HI!" and show off my new-to-me toy. I look forward to the conversations that are had, and enjoyed by all. "ROCK ON!"

Photo taken within minutes of arriving at her new home.

Congrats on your "upgrade"

I joke with my grandfather everytime we switch Vette's for the day (his '99 for my '93) I tell him that I'm downgrading. He never finds that funny for some reason.

LT1, 350 Cubic Inch, 300 Horse Power, 340 Torque Ft.Lbs (and that's the limit of my knowledge so far).

"Funny that you would mention that, because I wasn't driving this car but five minutes and I realized it was quicker and more responsive than my C5."
"Can I say that?"

Congratulations. It is a good looking car and different from the C5's.

I also liked the pictures of your Nassau Blue. It was one of my favorites in the C5 slideshow.

Beautiful car. Yes, I've seen pics of '96 coupes before, but I certainly wouldn't complain if you posted more of yours.
