Hello, my name is Jason and I have always been into cars and building them. I have built Mustangs, Camaros, and once even a Civic......sorry! I have always wanted a Corvette since I was like 12. I finally got one last week and have already started some small mods. I just never thought I could afford a Vette, but I just got back from my 3rd deployment to Iraq in which I was wounded. I figured it was time to get my Vette. I bought a 1998 C5. Then I bought a SLP performance package that included; BlackWing CAI, C5 Smooth C5 Bellow, and a Loudmouth cat-back. I must say that is a damn loud exhaust!! (be warned) I have much more planned but just wanted to introduce myself.

Wellcome to CFs, Jason!

First off, I want to thank you for your service to our country.

Congrats on getting your Vette. I waited 46 years, since I was 8, to get mine.

Very nice Vette ya got there.

Hey thanks guys. BlueShark....please pass on a thank you to your daughter. I will be praying for her safe return. I am just finally happy to be in the Vette family. I am sure happy I didn't have to wait 46 years, but I am sure it was worth your wait!
