Default C5 in the Garage

Just brought home a new 2003 Electron Blue/Oak convertible to join the 1980 coupe.

Plan is to continue :smash: on the 1980 and :auto: the 2003. The 1980 will require some TLC before it is completed, but it should be a very nice driver when I'm finished.

Two Corvettes ..... life is good! :thumbs:

Right on! After driving my brother's '98, I'd say that's definitely a good move. Now, how about some pictures of the pair?

Congratulations.

Congrats! Love the Electron Blue!! :D I didn't realize they were still making that color. I know they are not making them in the Z06 package this year.

That is so cool. Nice choice of color. It should be a very happy day when you have two Vettes in the garage.

Dalannex....

There's not that many that have C5's on this board. It just seems like it the last few days with the posts from new owners. Trust me.... if I win that Dale Earnhardt or Gold 50th Anniversary vette you all are gonna have to hear from me too. :cheers:
