C5 rules...
I saw a recent Armor All commercial in which the owners of the cars are swooning over their cars... the guy that rides his lawn mower through the hedges while looking at his Electron Blue C5...
What struck me funniest was... the C6 has been out for about 2 years and they still chose still use C5!
Gotta love the lines of our rides

Hey, Dave! Well, I agree, little brother. The new commercial you described is great. And, I just caught wind of it a couple of days ago. IMHO: The advertizers could certainly have opted for the C6, but, chose not to. And, to it's credit, the C5 remains as one of the most beautifully designed high performance vehicles on the planet. The Corvette C5's swooping muscular lines move many an motorsports enthusiast.

I think that the commercial is trying to illustrate that you can keep your older car looking like new!

I've always been one to quickly adapt to a new body style, and immediately think of the previous generation as out dated...however, with the new c6, though I think it is a beautiful car, I really believe that the c5 is still one of the best looking cars on the road.

Is that why my wife has been rubbing me down with that stuff?

I'm counting down until that troll from C6 Gen stumbles onto this thread and tells us all that we are in denial and that we're jealous of the C6. Oh and we're frustrated Firebird drivers and that the C6 looks like a Ferrari.....
Counting down.....10, 9, 8...........

..the advertisers are mocking corvette owners...
...as those who are goof ***** not even capable of driving their lawnmowers any better than they can drive their corvettes...
...especially C5's
...and C5 owners who supercharge lead the list of those who make terrible yard men...

I saw the same commercial last night. Having an electron blue vette myself, it made me very proud to own my baby and brought a smile to my face.
