Default New Arrival

Hello C5 CF. I've been a member on the C4 board for about three years and have recently made the switch to a C5. Although I will miss my 86 (was my first Vette) I sure do love the new toy. It's an 03 in spiral metallic grey with a 6 speed (man I love the 6 speed). Okay, enough talk. Here are some photos.

I also move over from the C4 section. Welcome to the C5 section. That is a nice looking 03 and I like that color. My first was a 84 and I too miss it. The C5 is a much nicer ride..Congrats on the purchase.

Thanks for the assist Funnone. What did I do that caused the other two not to post? It's been awhile since I have posted photos.

Congratulations. It looks great.

You don't see many in that color. I really like seeing them up close in the sun, there is so much metallic that it really pops.

Welcome to C5 land. My wife used our '89 C4 as a daily driver for over 4 years and it was a great car, one of the main reasons we bought the '02. You will find there are big improvements in the car with maybe a couple of exceptions. I miss not having easy access under the hood like the '89 but that is pretty minor.

Okie
