Moving over from the C4 Side
Just over from the C4 side and stopping in to say hello as the proud new owner an AE convertible. I have been patiently waiting for a couple years for the right car to come along and the wait finally paid off. I am moving up a few years from a nice 96 coupe that I thoroughly enjoyed. However, I have always admired the AE verts and always said that it would be my next vette.

Welcome!
Beautiful, that is all I can say. Oh and by the way, as a C-5 owner now you should expect anywhere from 25 MPG to 30 MPG depending on your velocity! Of course you could have aspired to own a Toyota Prius. I go on local Corvette and Cobra (not the Mustang) cruises here in San Diego on some weekends and even with extremely spirited driving I still get anywhere from 19-21 MPG! So your AE Convertible is an environmentally conscience car with performance a Prius owner could only dream about! Save the Wave too!

Very nice Vette, love the color and interior. You will love it, you probably do already. Had a C4 vert too, fun but no comparison between the features and ride of the C5.
