Default Room for 1 more?

Hello everyone! I thought I'd finally register. 34 years old, married to a wonderful lady (Grace), two daughters (Heaven/Harmony), and the proud owner of a '99 TT 429 C5 coupe and a '04 C/E C5 coupe. Again, hello everyone and God bless!!

Respectfully,

J.

horist,

I appreciate your good sense of humor and warm welcome. As for my '99.......well Murphy's law is always one step ahead of me. Don't know yet to be honest, but will hopefully get the opportunity to find out one day.

Brad,

Thank you, I'd be more than happy to e-mail them if someone would be kind enough to host 'em. I'm not computer savvy at all.

I need to work on my signature, but here is a copy and paste from my signature on the corvette forum. Needs to be updated. Basically, the information on the TT is down at the bottom in a nutshell.

Brad,

I appreciate the compliment. I'm sure you have a BEAUTIFUL car yourself. We're all enthusiasts here and bottom line, that's the great thing about the this forum. Keep in touch and who knows, maybe we'll get the opportunity to roll together one day.

Respectfully,

J.
