Hi all,
I've been a fan of Corvettes for as long as I can remember. I decided to take a trip from Jacksonville, Fl to Louisville,Ky to visit a friend. While there I stumbled upon a 2000 C5. It was super clean with great miles imo (59k) and had all the options I wanted (6 spd, targa, and HUD). I test drove it twice the same day and after the second test drive I negotiated a price and signed the paperwork. Man am I glad I took that trip! These cars are AWESOME! On the 13 hour trip back to Jax I averaged 29.5 mpg! Just wanted to introduce myself. If anyone is in the Jacksonville, Fl area let me know.
Thanks,
Clif

Welcome & Congrats on your great find 
The drive home was the best part wasn't it? You really get to know the car.
And wait...that's not all!
Now you also got the forum for a ride-along
