Hello from Sahuarita AZ (South of Tucson)

[torchredfrc]

I'm a long time Corvette Forum member and ended up here after searching far and wide for some information on Corvette Forum. Needless to say I'm familiar with Grumpy's great posts and I've used several of them to accomplish several DIY fixes.

A little about me...

I'm an electrical engineer by day, mostly doing software development oddly enough, and a car / video game enthusiast by night. I grew up around Studebaker's that my father fixed up as his hobby. His family was always big into the Studebaker brand, his brothers and father all worked for the company at one time or another. My car experience has pretty much always revolved around the GM LSx/LTx small block V8. My wife and I have had the pleasure of owning a 1999 Corvette fixed roof coupe, a 2004 Cadillac CTS-V, and most recently a 2006 Corvette coupe. The bulk of the reason I spend time on car forums has been to read up on the LSx development, and find DIY instructions or information for troubleshooting our 1999.

In any event, I wanted to say hello here and take a moment to thank Grumpy for putting the site together. I'm looking forward to getting to know folks here.

Cheers.

Matt

That's so interesting that you have family members that worked for Studebaker, have any pics of them working???. You must be at least
30 years old.

Please add your location to your profile, it so NICE to know if someone is local to yourself or across the pond.

I have just one more comment.

You're pretty spot on, I'm actually 31. I don't have any pics of my dad's cars or of his family at the plant. We do still have some family in South Bend Indiana though. I'll update my profile with my location but in the mean time I'm just south of Tucson Arizona so quite a ways away from the old Studebaker plant.

I seem to be completely inept at phpBB, I can't for the life of me find where to setup my profile!
