Default 13 years ago today

I picked up my 98 nassau blue/oak mn6 coupe 13 years ago today. It's my third vette hence the lic plate "THRDTOY" went from daily driver to full time toy, puts down 443rwhp, has won 101 awards, was in a 3 page spread in vette mag, I like it as much today as when I picked it up, how long have you owned your C5?

Have had my current C5 since September 2009. Before that, has a '00 for 7 1/2 years. Got to love the C5s.

12 years with my 1992 coupe and now almost 7 years with my '04 coupe. Love these cars -- wish I could afford more than one!
