Default She's Red!
First post ever with picture.

Hello all C5ers
Been mostly lurking and learning here since I bought my C5 on Feb 14th (a valentines gift to myself). After looking and wanting many corvettes that I looked at, I finally found exactly what I wanted. I am so happy, I did'nt settle for just anything. I also sold my c4 the very first day I advertised it, here on the forum! Thanks to everyone here for their advice. I ended up buying one of the very first cars I looked at. It just kind of spoke to me, when I saw it, I said "hello good looking" and this may sound crazy but I thought it said "right back atcha".

You've done well young "Grasshopper". You have chosen the favorite color of the "Corvette Gods". Now get rid of those ugly a$$ wheels. ASAP!!
