Very nice looking C5

Welcome to the forum... lots of great people here and some who need to find their way. There is a wealth of good information here.. the trick is trying to get that information from the right people. dont forget to wave too.

We go out driving most every weekend. Anywhere in Florida and sometimes Ga and Al are our territory. Maybe I'll see some of you guys around.

I think we traded waves the other day! The Burger King at the Oakbridge Publix shopping center on Harden has a crowd of old cars on Friday nights. There are usually a couple of Vette/Vette owners there.

For general repairs I use A-Car in Winter Haven. See Bill, he use to run USA Speedway. The people there are good and have vette owners working for them. If I need to go to the dealer I take the car to Greenwood in Fort Meade who has its records since birth.

See you around town. /Ken

Thanks, It has 150,000 miles on it so I'm sure it's not a nice as most, but I didn't buy it to look at, I bought it to mod, drive fast, and have fun. Hopefully I can accomplish all three.
