I wish spring would get here and stay! There is a pile of salt at the end of my street that has to weigh 20IBs. I hate salt. Glad to see someone enjoying his Vette. Mike

Every C5 out there deserves a loving owner like you! Sweet ride!

I love my 2004 C5... I traded my 2013 Honda Civic for it. I have been spending money on it since the moment I got it. And have never regretted a single penny spent!

Still sore from 12 hour Good Friday session spent rebuilding my C5 sport seats.

The Civic would have needed gas and nothing else in the same time span as the dealer gave free oil changes.

A Corvette brings a smile to your face that a Civic can't. If it is reliable drama free joyless transportation that you desire the Civic is the ideal vehicle.

I don't have many photos as the car has been asleep for several months.
It's asleep in the first. The next two it's been cleaned up any paint correction done and ready to go in the next month or so.

Got an e-mail update on this thread. Brought me back to update. Hey, Saxy..... "LOOKING GOOD"... YAY YOU!!!!
Let's see..... Survived my Hernia Operation. YIKES....
Operation Thursday morning, by Friday morning I was ready to call 911... UGH YIKES OUCH.
Got over it. LOL
Am now totally 'Vertical' and walking and running with little or no discomfort. YAY ME
I'm really liking belonging to a bunch of Face Book Vette groups.
I've helped some peeps with their C5s and referred them here every time.
Result is KARMA BIG TIME...
Newest example is the attached photo which just arrived.
Price was BELOW WHOLESALE, so I had to 'at least' go for it.
Don't know if I'll keep it, but, what the hell, Put it on just to see if it works for me.
Otherwise, sell it for what I paid, and not lose a thing.

How do you like this?

Hello Art glad you're good, I think maybe a bit too low on that front end for street duty.
