It's always a RUSH!
It's kinda tuff to impress me with a car after racing and owning one of the fastest production bikes on earth or being a Tank Commander and blasting across terrain at full speed in 63 tons of armored steel, moving and shoot'in.
BUT, I'm having too much fun in this C5....EVERYDAY I turn the key and floor the gas pedal!
Dang this IS LIVING and I LOVE IT!!!!

I agree 100%.
With almost 2 years and close to 30,000 miles since I got my first C5, I just went out for a 30 minute drive on the highway tonight and loved it.
I can't wait to drive to work then drive home tomorrow. It is an incredible car and I'm fortunate to get to drive it in the morning.

Whoo Hoo! Driv'in fast and burn'in gas! I took the wife on a high speed run to Richmond yesterday. While it was 2 1/2 hours (one way) of I95 interstate driv'in, it was still fun. Not as fun as the twisty mountain roads I like. It was warm enough to drop the top for a while. These things are fun to drive. Even just running to get the groceries.

Yesterday, a few of our Corvette club members were invited to another larger club event sponsored by the San Jacinto Corvette Club. It was the first event of that kind I ever attended and running the backroads in a very long line of Corvettes(maybe 30-40?) at a VERY brisk pace was exhilarating to say the least. My girlfriend and I had a blast!

with ya!The Vette has been a great stress reliever for me in earlier years… as well as presently.
I even get a thrill out of standing next to it while I assist an attractive long legged date into the cockpit for her first buckle-up.
Life is good.
