Default Where Are They Now ?!?!

While going through some of my favorite forum member vette pics I have saved on my pc, I got to thinking that I haven’t seen these cars around in quite a long while…these are all C5’s and all HOT !!! And yes, even though I have a C6 now, I can’t seem to stay away from the C5…I really miss mine.

Where are these HOT C5’s now? If they are still around, they need come out and be seen !!!













And I must confess, this used to be my 99 FRC. In a moment of weakness, I traded it in for a Triple Black 2005 Nissan 350Z Roadster…damn I miss my FRC. I wish I knew where it was. I love my C6, but I’d buy my 99 FRC back in a second.

it's funny, each and every vette pictured here has a constant theme to them.

Great pics of some very nice cars.

Can't believe you traded your FRC for a 350Z! You must of had a very weak moment.

Nice to see the old timer on once and awhile. Unfortunately time goes on and many have gone on to post C5 pursuits, C6's or God forbid, other rides. The pictures definitely brought back some memories.
