Default Getting my C5 Friday...
Well, after admiring Corvettes for years I made up my mind to pull the trigger after attending the Corvettes at Carlyle show. I found a beautiful 98 pewter coupe with some very tasteful and well thought out mods. Custom black and red leather seats, Z06 wheels and rear brake vents, some very subtle body enhancements, HUD, short throw shifter and much more. Its definitely ready to show. I pick it up on friday night and i can't wait. Road tested the car today with my mechanic and what a rush it was. And thanks to this forum i knew exactly what i was looking for.
