Default First time in this section

Well, I've been reading posts on here for a while, but never made it to this section until now. Thought I'd just say "hi". I'm in Western NC and trying to learn all I can about my car. Interesting stuff on here. I've just now started doing some mods on my car (see siggy). Trying to get used to the cam. This is my first sports car of any kind. I bought it new in May of 2002. Love her to death! But, I'm having to learn to drive her all over again w/this cam. (Becky tried to tell me, but I wasn't listening, was I Becky?) Anyway, I'll get it, just take me a little while. I can't ease out on the clutch and baby the gas anymore! Not that I never get on it, by any means, there's just some places you have to go slow! Not now! Never liked going slow anyway, but gravel roads can be heck on a car!!!

Hey there, a little new here too. Have been lurking awhile, but decided to go ahead and join.

Not many f-bodys where I'm at, let alone anything fun going on. I haven't even seen another car like mine in town.

Know what ya mean about going slow-it's like the car can't help but wantin' to run!

OUCH! gravel roads & road rash
