Default Hi Everybody

I'm new to the forum. I don't own a corvette but I plan on buying one in 2 years most likely a C5 maybe a C6 if possible. I want to get a 2003 or 2004 C5. Right now I drive a Chevy Colorado Crew Cab 3.5L I5. It seems that the corvette has taken over my mind ever since i drove inside my friends C5 I haven't been able to stop thinking about the corvette I think it's an awesome sports car and the way a sports car should be. well i have decided to join the forum because i want to learn all about the C5 and C6 and your guys experience with the corvette. Well im glad to be part of this forum and hope to make friends on here. Oh and one more thing my name is not Axl Rose it's Erick, Axl Rose is just the vocalist to my favorite band of all time Guns N' Roses.

From one Eric to another Erick, welcome to the forum.

You know you were hooked the moment you took your first ride in a C5. I had a C4, rode in my buddys C5 and had my own within a week or two. Best move I made.

The C5 is a fantastic sports car. It awes me everytime I get in and drive it.

Welcome to the forum.

I started with a C5 and in just over 3 years I accumulated a C1, C2, C3 and C4 to go with my C5. Love 'em all!
