.......I am not a man of wealth and taste , I am a proud new C5 owner. Brought home this 01 vert last week. Only 13000 miles. Fully optioned as far as I can tell. I have had a couple of C4's. This is my first C5. So far, I love it. No mods yet, untouched by the first owner.

Welcome Paul. I'm a newby too having had my first Vette (C5 coupe) for a week and a half. Wow that's an eye-catching interior you've got there. Mine's just Boring Black.
