However, only as a gesture of policy to require that the participating dealership completely confirm the rarely selected red interior with the MY body color. For, in general, black is slated as the most common interior color compliment from the manufacturer for MY colored C5's.

For more info, refer to the Corvette Fever magazine archives. There, you will find a picture of a C5 with the same color combo and a few interesting comments and stats.

Also, Happy Anniversary to you and your loving wife whom has certainly sought to especially spoil her mate on such a special and happy day. May you both have many, many long and happy years of sweetest joy, and, shared heartfelt blessings and adventures together, as you walk hand in hand in life.

With a loving mate, music is more than music when shared with your beloved. Bread is more than bread when broken and tasted together. In the ensuing years that are yet to unfold before you: Remember to shine like the sun for your mate; Sing to your mate with the greatest abandon for she is your inspiration; and, listen to the sound of the voice of your beloved as you would so eagerly do a favorite melody.

Look at your mate and tell her that you love her with just your eyes. When a sincere look of love, validation and happiness starts in the eyes, the magic and depth of that amazing emotion then travels down to our lips and voices.

When you hug your wife, really take her in your arms and let her completely feel like she is really being held, truly being embraced by you totally with your body, heart and soul. Your arms should always be her most sacred place of loving comfort, protection, peace, passion, validation, and, ever a constant and faithful haven. Heaven on earth.

Whisper in her ear. The greatest way to capture ones attention and ignite the spark that exists between you both is to whisper. Let your words of love and kiss goodnight be the last thing she hears upon her ear and feels upon her lips, as you pull her close to hold her while you sleep. And, may Heaven always and ever watch over you both. Happy Anniversary.

Best Wishes to You and Your Lovely Wife,
Eden
Very nicely stated! Happy anniversary to you both and congrats on the new ride!

Understanding spouses are rare...
This year marks our 25th Anniversary. To mark it we added our second Vette to the stable... a Quick Silver ( Silver Anniversary!) '01 Convertible.
