No feeling quite like bringing home your C5 for the first time, and the cool thing is, that feeling stays with you for a long time. Congrats

Very nice,...........and nicely modded already.
That saves you a bunch of money right up front.
I have had mine for about 6 months and it is true that the "wow that Corvette is mine" doesnt really go away.
Get ready for the local celeb treatment from the general public and a wave from most every other Corvette owner.
Enjoy.

Thanks to everyone for the great comments! I really love the car so much plus I just got back from a little cruise and one of my neighbors a few houses down came over and introduced himself and showed me his viper acr that he races. He spent about an hour talking my ear off. Turns out he has some buds who race vipers and C5s and says he'll come get me next time they go out for a cruise. Very cool. Only had the car 4 days and it's already made me a new friend.
