Default Becoming a C5 Owner Finally
Tommorrow I'am flying out to Pittsburgh to pick up my 2001, NBM, 6spd, coupe and driving it back. It's been 11 years without a vette. Time doesn't fly without one. Enjoyed reading the forum over the past few years, now I'll feel like I belong. Thanks guys for all your help with the many questions I've asked, I think I got a good car. We'll see.

If I can figure it out, I'll be glad to. It sounds silly, but I feel like a kid before Christmas.

Congrats and post pics when you get it. I found mine in NJ, flew there and drove her home 1000 to TN, what a way to get aquainted! You'll love it and wonder why didn't get it sooner![IMG][/IMG]
