Hi folks,

After many, many years of driving station wagons and mini vans - hauling lots of kids and hockey gear....my husband and sons decided to up-grade me and gave me a 2001 silver vette for Mother's Day.

Well, getting back into driving a stick - esp. a 6 speed...scared me to death at first...but I've managed to overcome.

Have lots of questions - can someone recommend a good mechanic. I'd really appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Thanks,

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Congrats on the upgrade! I (as well as many club members) trust Joe Malo at Koons Chevrolet with my vettes. He is very well versed in the inner workings of these cars. You can make an appointment with Joe through his service writer Bill Appel at 703-448-7206.

Welcome and feel free to read, search, and post on the forum. Lots of info available here and lots of good people, too. :D

Welcome Lisa. Glad you are enjoying your "upgrade". Isn't it interesting that your "husband and sons" gave you this upgrade. What's next, a motorcycle? Just kidding...enjoy!

Lots of women into cars in this club...not unusual at all. Looking forward to meeting you, Lisa!
