Well tomorrow I drive down to Vancouver Wa. to pick up my first Corvette.

It's a yellow 2002 with 12,500 miles on it. Kind of a shame for a low mile car, but it will become my daily driver. Just wanted something a little more fun than the 2001 Impala to drive to work.

And the yellow Corvette with go well with my other yellow toy.

Hopefully the picture works, as this is my first post here.

Funny, last summer at the lake it hit me. I like yellow. My fishin' pole is yellow. My lawn mower is yellow. And my C5 is yellow. Yellow rocks!!

Enjoy your new ride. Hope you don't do like the previous owner, and just let it sit and look pretty in the garage!

It seems like once I started down the path of yellow vehicles, there's just been no turning back.

This was my first one in 2005.

That is an awesome Cobra, and yes, the C5 will go well with it. Congrats and good luck with the car.

You'll enjoy the C5 immensely! I got mine 9 months ago and have put 20K miles on it. Great daily driver and a blast to drive.
