Hey, I'm Gerald. I'm 26 from L.A. Living in OR temporarily. I am Military, and I bought my first Vette after 6 years of Hard work and B.S.

I have been after a C5 since I test-drove one in 2000! Many obstacles since then, but Finally have her.

I own a 2003 Medium Spiral Grey Coupe. The previous owner added the intake, the exhaust, the headers, and the Z06 throttle body.

I will be posting my second post in the Audio Section.

I have read the C5 FAQ and it is awesome. I look forward to hearing from you all. Your site is awsome!

Thx,
