2004 C5, 29k miles. Currently it is all stock. I just drove it home on Saturday. I'm ecstatic! The C5 body style came out when I was in junior high and it was my dream car then. It is more fun to drive than I was even expecting.
Here is the first photo I took with my cell phone- more will come later!
OPTIMA Presents Corvette of the Week: Pre-Teen Dream to Reality
Most of us remember when our love affair began with the Corvette. For me, the date was May 26, 1992. I was seven, and when my dad brought home his black C4 six-speed convertible, out of my eye sockets popped two racing hearts. I haven't had conventional vision since. It's undeniable my first ride in that car changed my life.
For forum member "akn224" his Corvette love affair was kicked into high gear in 1996 when the C5 Corvette was introduced for the 1997 model year. akn224 was in junior high at the time, and the C5 was his dream car.
Earlier this month, akn224's pre-teen dream became a reality when he purchased his first Corvette: a 2004 C5 with only 29,000 miles ... not even broken in, if you ask me.
Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your first Vette. I know how you must feel, I felt the same thing 3 years ago when I first got mine
And I see we share two passions, the C5 and photography.
Looking forward to see more pictures of that beautiful C5 of yours!

Congrats, enjoy, remember to wave, and check out the C5 forums and car care forums.
Welcome from Texas, and I had a 2001 C5 a few years back. They are a lot of fun, and I am happy that you were able to get your dream car. It looks nice!
