Inspirational view......
I've got to share an observation that I had this morning. On my way to work at 0'Dark:30, I came up on a Mag Red/Lt.Oak C5 convertible with chrome wheels of some sort cruising at about the speed limit. Now - there was nothing special about this car - it appeared to have a stock exhaust system, it wasn't lowered....it looked bone stock in fact.
But as I rolled up on it at the light from behind, I was struck by how low and for lack of a better word....sexy it looked. The top was up and it had sort of custom "chopped" look to me.
I've seen literally hundreds of Vettes from every angle, but there was something that hit me this morning about what a beautiful car the C5 is, and made me think how lucky I am to own a such an eye-catching car. Just thought I'd share with the folks that I know will understand....
Thanks!

You had the same reaction that most of us do - the C5 is an incredible car to own, drive and look at.

Nothing abnormal about that. The Corvette, especially the C5 and of course my Z06, is sexy. Every time I open the garage door I look at it and think; Wow! 
Something else to ponder; If you look at some of the finer Corvette photo's published, the early morning or late afternoon shots when the sun is very low and the light temperature is cooler, look allot more appealing, ie sexy.
Good observation.
