I turned 40 May 2009 and got my 1st Vette for Christmas 2009. Great deal then on my 1999 Navy Blue convertible.
Don't rule out the light gray interior. It really looks awesome with the dark blue and white top. At least I think so.

Hey Donnie - welcome to the forum and good luck finding a really nice C5. I've got some Word files, including a Corvette Buyers Checklist, that might help you out. If you'd like a copy, PM me your e-mail address.
