Default C5 M Yellow

MY has only been available since 2000, and then only around 12% of production was this color. It seems like 50% of the pics posted on this forum are MY. Why do you think that is?

I know it looks like M/Y is all over the place. When I got my car I was the first on with M/Y in my club now we have like 10 .
I think you can see more M/Y cars because it stands out the most. JMO

It does seem like there's lots of them on this forum but I was in a Corvette show yesterday and out of about 175 cars, I counted only 4 MY C5's. I was also surprised by the low number of convertibles, which made my job easier as I grabbed First Place in that class!

When I was looking for my latest C5 I really wanted MY but couldn't find one. I wanted a MY vert, 6speed. None to be had so I settled for a black coupe. 6 weeks later I found my dream car and jumped on it. I've always wanted MY and passed on a number of them. Glad I have it finally. This one's a keeper for sure.

Never thought I would own a yellow car. When I was searching for
a vette I wanted the stick and loaded. Saw this one on the internet
about 150 mile away and was going to be close the next day on
business. When the previous owner took the cover off, fired it up and
back out of the garage into the sunlight. WOW I just found out
I really like this Mill Yel. And of course then I drove it and here we are
2 years later with a bad case of mod fever.
