Share your feelings
Took a short 1 hour cruise to visit a friend down the Jersey Shore yesterday. Perfect Vette weather here in NJ.
Nothing better than cruising with favorite music. The C5 is so darn comfortable, and hugs the road like no other. Gotta love the sound as you accelerate through the gears, coming out of the toll booths.
Also nice to see a positive thread, without a list of problems and malfunctions. I know they happen, believe me, but gotta believe the majority of owners have lots of time with their C5's just driving and enjoying the feeling.

I know how you feel. I've very fortunate to own a C5.

I'm just one of many owners who love this car! I'm almost satisfied with the power level and certainly LOVE the widebooty look! After I modded the interior with color and sound from DD MODS I'm in heaven!
I just mellow out with rocking to ZZ or AC/DC turned up! You get that feeling you have got the perfect car in your life! I just can't imagine ever finding another to replace it!
LIFE IS FANTASTIC! Thank you Lord for all my BLESSINGS!

My car has been problem-free and a joy to own
(2004 Lemans Ed coupe) and I just love it.
When I found this forum and read some of the horror
stories, I had some regret ... but it has turned out to be a reliable car...
and a head turner at every stoplight.

I really enjoy going through the gears with the top down in this fall like weather here in Arkansas.
Thanks for the positive thread to be able to share some vette love.
I'm still listening to CCR and Led Zep the most with some early Stones now and then.

BTW, where in NJ are you from? Takes me about an hour to get to the shore too.

What a car
Hey Chasboy;
guess its a cruise to Sussex County. Been a while for me. My former job had me visiting Morris, Sussex, Bergen and Warren counties. Some awfully beautiful country sides......
Must be some nice cruising roads....
Nice car, best of luck with it....
