Default My C5 from hubby. (He did good!)

Ok, thanks to you guys here, I am going to finally post my baby! Hubby bought this C5 for me on Christmas Eve 2 weeks after I told him my childhood dream. Granted I told him after 15 years of being together. I lived the car commercial dream. He came home with a Santa hat on and a bow on the car with the targa top off and threw me the keys. What a man! I have been enjoying my baby ever since. Now hubby is even talking about buying a C6!!! So I will be the new one out there waving at you in Northern California!!! Hoping tonow find some local Vette runs here to meet other owners considering I feel like the youngest owner in this area (37) Thanks for all of you making me feel welcome!

Nice!

Now I thought I was being original when I bought my wife an 02 EB Coupe for Christmas.

Good luck with it.

He just bought that so he could go and put gas in it on the weekends. If not just ask him to put gas in it on the weekends and to take it to the grocery store once in a while, I'm sure he will love it and be more than obliged

Just wished my wife was into vettes as the rest of us in the family are , a vette crazed dad ( 97 arcticwhite ) , a 17 yo son ( 99 bark navy blue) , and a younger daughter that loves to ride in both
now the wife ? she says it's a great looking car , but it's not her taste
Good for you that you are a vette lover
Love your car BTW
