Default Wanted to say hey *Now with Pics*

I wanted to say hey to everyone. Although I don't own a LS1 car I wanted to make an account over here. My dad just picked up a 98 C5 Vette and I'm wanting to get him into an online community so I thought I'd start by making an account and hopefully he'll have one as well soon.

His car is a 98 C5 Corvette
Glass Targa Top Auto
32,xxx miles
Red with Tan Interior
Corsa Exhaust

We got it for $18,000 (from a friend of our uncle's who collects them) which is a huge steal. It has a few things we need to get taken care of. Maybe some of you can help. I'll get some pics of it soon up.

With care. I was standing on some big metal thing (not really sure what it was). All the photos are HDR and of course I used a tripod as well. Oh, also the camera I use is a Nikon D-50 Digital SLR.
