Picked up my C5
I picked up my C5 in houston saturday and drove it to virginia beach....I am so glad to own my first vette and get to actually say I own one....out standing and hope to see more vette owners wave....while on the drive I either waved or flashed my fog lights at every vette and got to responces..vette owners need to step up thier loyallty..hahha see you out there.
Any vette clubs in virginia beach area?

Congrats on the new Vette. Bet you enjoyed the ride home. I flew to Flint MI and drove about 2300 miles home when i got my 2k last year.
Best of luck with the vette, great color.
See you found the fog lights on the turn signal lever
Sometimes hard to see a wave and hard to wave in traffic too, so i use it too....
Put some info on your signature when you have a chance, people will be interested..

Congrats on the new ride, I think you'll find that owning one is whole lot better than wishing you owned one!
Continue to wave, even if some dont - most do.

Congrats on your C5 - great color and looks like you have a head start on the mods with the ones already on the car.
