Congrats bud. I'm 27 but still look pretty young and Im going to tell you this right now. Ricers are going to try to race you left and right but they arent worth the gas and potential ticket . Stay safe out there

Nice glossy paint!!

The only advice I -must- give is to trust your instincts on the fly. You've got a car that IS all one could want.

Hey first "Welcome" to the best Corvette Forum, & second, that's one nice C-5...I also had a C-4 first, then after a couple of yrs, sold & purchased my Hardtop.. Driving and owning a Corvette is more of a maturity level than age...Be careful, have a blast & "save the wave"...Spokane...
