Allright, admit it....

How many time did you STOMP on it on the drive home? Just to...ahem....see what the capabilities of the car are?

I remember my first drive home. I could hardly contain myself!!!

Congrats on the new ride! Im sure you will be loving every new experience with the C-5! Its been almost a year now for me and I know I am still like a kid on Christmas morning every time I see mine! It never gets old!!!!

Cheers!~~~JadeDragon

Beautiful Vette and Congratulations! I like that color, but then, I like all the colors! I remember my first ride home - I felt like everybody on the highway HAD to be looking at this beautiful piece of machinery and I couldn't believe that it was mine! It still feels almost like that 3 1/2 years later. Enjoy - it only gets better!

Ok, I do ADMIT that I STOMPED on it a few times, but purely to pass! After passing I got over to the middle or right lane to cruise at 72mph or so. Sure got over 80 in a hurry, but it was brief, and I did not want to get a ticket my first day in the C5! I want to get the car on some twisties and feel her out soon!! Jon

The indoor lighting doesn't do the mag red justice in the last pic. More pics to come later! Awesome day!! Jon
Good ol' I-5! I miss it... time for a road trip back to Tacoma!
