Bought my C5 new in June of '03, today (almost 3 years later) I get my first issue of Corvette Quarterly, congratulating me on my purchase. Oh well, maybe they'll extend my warranty for 3 more years to match my subscription.

I'm sure their records reflect that you just bought your car.

Ben,

Its crap like that which allows the foreign cars to sell more. GM is so screwed up, I doubt they will survive. One has to guess which is worse, the government or GM.

The *** car makers are all over it...When I bought my Lexus, I thought my mailbox was going to fall over from the weight of the marketing material they sent out.

My vette is more fun tho
