So I'm Austin and I'm new the the Vette club. I was sent over to here from "another board" by I think he said he goes by Shadow on this board? If you see this, let everyone know who you are. Uh...I'm 19, going to college for electrical engineering. Currently work at a grocery store as a cashier though. I've had mine for about 3 months now and still learning about the car in general. Bought it from a friend of my dad's. It's kind of a funky color purple and I'm sure there are some cars on here that would put it to shame but it was too good of a deal to pass up (especially for a broke college kid like me).

Well, guess that's about it. See ya around.

Welcome aboard, nice looking cars you got there. Enjoy your stay.

Welcome

If you're interested in doing the maintenance and any mods on your Vette yourself, you'll find a wealth of resources here from the tips and the members. As well as help out a broke college kid by keeping costs down.

Enjoy!

Love that color!



Welcome!

oh yeah, for got to say it only has 46k miles on it and only about 5k on the engine.

It was one of his "other" cars. Had it since new. Spent most of the time in the shop from the stuff he was having done to it. Sold this one to me to help pay for his new Z06

Welcome. Enjoy the ride .........:auto:.........

welcome aboard!

I love the colour!!! that shade is AWESOME!

Great looking car mate, welcome along ;)

wow nice cars!! Welcome!!!

You're off to a good start! I got my vette in my 3rd year at college. Most people were already driving boring cars. Hell, I can wait until I'm 70 to do that.

Hey dude, nice Garden Tractor.

What is it? Bolens. Snapper. Toro. MTD.?????

8, 10, 12hp???

I live in the Garden-Variety Power Plant Capitol.
Briggs&Straton, Kohler, Techumseh, and for more power, Harley motors are made right here.

WoooHooo.

Actually, I think that one is my dad's old Snapper lol. It didn't have the deck on it because it kept throwing belts and he was trying to get it all lined up again. I *think* it has a 21HP Briggs and Straton that he put in it from another mower (he has a bunch). He had this reallly really old orange thing that was a beast, you like sat behind it and it pivoted in the middle. I have no idea what that one was.

Welcome and nice Vette! I love that color, you don't see too many of them.

That is a CLEAN car. Very nice.

I'm not a convertable guy myself, but I can see the appeal to others.

I got my girl in 1999 after I totalled a Mustang Cobra. Oops.

Love the color as well. How GM came to dame it Dark Rose is beyond me.

Welcome aboard! I see I have been here longer, by a few minutes only. Like your 92, very nice looking vette, some very nice mods too. Remember to :wave: to fellow Corvette drivers.

It's not GM paint...was painted back in 92 right after the guy bought the thing. Looks pretty good for 15 year old paint (although the pinstriping is kind of funky)
