I've been sticking with only American cars these days I've had many GM vehicles including C3's, C4's, C5's, Z28's, Trans Am's, as well as, some imports.

All I can say is that after owning a C5 I just can't think of anything else I'd like to drive. In my book the C5 is truly the best sports car value in the world.

My first car was a 57 Chevy. My first new car was a 64 Chevelle. And my first truly awesome car is a 2002 Corvette.

Other than the Vette, I wouldn't buy a Chevy (or GM) product.

Brenda and I are very partial to Miata's. We have two and may well by a third as a dedicated Autocross car. My daily driver is a 1990 GMC Suburban with over 250,000 miles. (turned a quarter million last Thursday) Brenda also owns a new Dodge pickup and I have to admit they did a great job. It is a really nice truck, but getting parts and service is impossible. (It took a month to get a grill after hitting a deer. It took two months and three dealer visits to get one rear bushing)

Our Corvette is our first, but not our first Chevy. If it is our last Corvette, it will be the last car we ever own. No other car can compare

I have been driving Mercedes products for the last 10 years. This is my third vette and only Chevrolet model I have ever owned. I really miss my MB, but I love my vette.

GM is my car company, and was always my dad's. Prior to GM, I owned Ford, Toyleta, and Dodge. With the exception of the GMC Yukon Denali, it's all been Chevy: Caprice, Silverado, Tahoe, and 'Vette. Best car for the buck IMO, and by far the most reliable and trouble free vehicles I have ever owned! That includes the Denali, which stands up to my wife quite nicely.

Corvette is the only Chevy I've owned. GM cars mostly throughout the years. One Honda and one Suzuki, although they were bikes!
