Default New owner

Hello, I'm a new owner of a C-5 as of this weekend and I like it. I was a C-3 owner for 33 years and I sold it to buy this one. I've enjoyed hanging out on the C-3 page for years and now I'm going to move over here and learn some new stuff. My 4th Vette. Ive had a 60, 68 roadster, 71 Coupe, and now a 2001 Roadster, black with tan interior and top. So again I say HELLO

Congrats on your purchase. There's a world of difference between the C3 and C5 - you're going to love the new car.

Wow, 33 years as a C3 owner. Was that one car the whole time? I'm at 30 years of C3 ownership and still counting. Hopefully, I'll be able to match your mark. As much I like my C3 for its dramatic body style, I've got to say that the C5 is definitely the car of choice between the two. To top it off, you made a terrific color selection. The black with tan, top and interior is really a classy combo.

Congratulations on the new one. When I first got a C5, I just couldn't get over what a wonderful car to drive it is. Now, I'm at 11 years of C5 ownership and that feeling has not worn off.

Welcome to C5, from another C3 and C5 guy.
