My First Drive!
I wanted to share this with you guys. I haven't driven my C5 in the past 12 month (was stationed in Korea). I got orders for my new duty stationed which is in Va.(Hampton Roads area). So my first drive in my C5 was a 10 hour drive from Clarksville, TN to Newport News, Va. All I car say is "IT WAS AWSOME"!!

Welcome home! I love driving the vette after some time away. I've never been away that long but I carpool to work with my fiance and her Honda. I get the vette out every other week and it's a blast.
