Default Corvette fun!
I bought my first Vette back in June. A beautiful triple black convertible 99. Yeah I've had to fix a few things. Nylon headlight gear,and oil pressure sending unit. But good lord it is fun to drive! I also enjoy how when you see other Vette drivers they always give you a wave or a salute. I love it! You dont see the Mustang guys or Camaro guys doing that. I also want to thank the regular posters here, the knowledge some people have is just incredible. Thanks!

If every person driving a mustang waved at the others driving a mustang they might as well keep a constant wave on. Dime a dozen vehicle. Vette is much more unique!

I have a triple black vert '03. I am surprised you have time to post anything...between polishing and maintaining a black Vette. LOL. In my humble opinion Black rules when it comes to a C5, good choice. My next fav. color is yellow then red. Enjoy. Rob
