Default I'm watching you!

Hello, new guy here, I posted in the intro section but I just thought I'd let you in this section know I've been lurking here for awhile now trying to glean as much info as I can about your C5's as I have the wheels turning in my head figuring out how I can convert my '06 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and '80 Kawasaki KZ1000 into a reliable pickup and a shiny new-to-me C5 'vert with a light colored interior.

So, as I lurk, keep those posts coming and know they will be appreciated as I work away on my "Golden Years" project. ;-)

Thanks,
Sonny

Good luck finding that C5. They are out there and one has to have your name on it.

Welcome to the Forum and hoping you achieve your goal. I hit the pause button when marriage and children appeared. Then when no debt was hanging over our dreams, the kids were gone I got a cashier check, traveled to where the two month search turned up a C5 I hit the button again and carried on.

Was that you that waved earlier this year when we stopped in Knoxville, TN to visit my aunt and uncle? We went to Gatlinburg the next day and hung out a little bit.
Welcome to the forum. By the way, TN is my favorite state. Every time I visit there, I enjoy the hospitality you folks show me.
I just bought my first Corvette this year. Got a black 2003.
You will find "the one". Let us know when you make your purchase.
