Thanks to all for the warm welcome as I move over from the C4 Section to the C5 Side-of-Life.

Glad you're enjoying your new 'Vette.A patron/friend of mine that used to frequent the restaurant/bar I was managing back in '04 pulled up one day with his new MSG '04 'VetteI was immediately taken in by the
color which reminds me of the old "Steel Cities Gray" from the C3 chrome bumper era I'm rambling and reminiscing

Anyway,look forward to seeing pics of it Rick.Keep enjoying that new found love for the C5

You nailed it, Tom...!! The Spiral Gray is very, very close to the "Steel Cities Gray" from the chrome bumper C3-era cars (which I love). Maybe that's why I waited until a low-miles '04 MSG Coupe came my way.

On another subject, it was GREAT to see PSU stomp on the Purdue Boilermakers today...!! Just two more weeks until the Nittany Lions travel to Michigan for the BIG GAME..!!

You got a deal, buddy. Would love to cruise along-side that good-lookin' C5 Vert.

Welcome to the Gray side of life. You picked the right color! Doesn't the metallic flakes shine great in the sun. Enjoy and many pleasant hours on the Corvette forum.

I love the highly-reflective metal flakes in the MSG paint color.

Really enjoying the C5...just an awesome car.

Sweet Medium Sprial Gray coupe

There is no dark side...all Corvettes come from the same family tree

You have the right idea; drive, drive, drive. Take pictures later.
