Default Have the new vette

I just bought a 1999 pewter on black sports seat 6spd targa top car with 19,000 miles. I love it. it is ten times better than the 92 6spd car I had about 3 years ago. Everyone was right the c5 is tons better than the c4. I am so happy to be back in a vette. thanks to chevy for making my car.
