I just bought my first corvette (c5) a couple weeks ago. I agree with everyone on how nice a car it is to drive. The car is a wolf in sheeps clothing. You can cruise with it all day and be nice and comfortable, but then when you push it, it reacts. It is definitely a car that people dream of. Congrats on the new ride. Drive safe.

Ok hows this. It took me a while to upload these I hope they work. These are some quick shots. Car has 27k on the odometer, Borla exhaust, cross over pipe. Black Wing air box, B&M sport shifter, graphics on steering wheel, pass. side air bag and the rear lettering to match the top. I think I'll like it a lot. Can't wait to get it out on the road. I do have hair. I did have the same C3 for 33 yrs. I chromed a lot of it and it was just getting to be a lot of work to keep it clean.
