Is it just me?
Or is the Corvette the TRUE "Ultimate Driving Machine">?
A day out enjoying our cars is like no other. The visceral feeling you get when you bury your right foot, to the enjoyment of sitting back and enjoying the 30+ MPG you can achieve in top gear on the highway!
I have said it before and I'll say it again, I have never been in a car where I have enjoyed my experience as much as I have in my Corvette! Not only my personal enjoyment but the enjoyment of everyone on the road that breaks their neck trying to catch a little bit longer of a glimpse at the timeless design of the C5. From kids, to adults... to the other sports car owners that appreciate the machines we drive, you really can't put a price on it!
The possibilities are endless when it comes to making your Vette your own. The amazing vendors that supply us with top of the line accessories, performance parts and goodies to really have the dream car we all deserve! All for not, having a forum like this to share our love for the Corvette is Priceless and makes it all worth while!
Happy motoring everyone!!! Have a safe, fun and ticket free season this year! Enjoy these cars the way they should be..... On the road and between the lines!

What you said is exactly the reason I have a Vette in the garage. Sure there are other cars that would be fun to drive, but it just seems America's sports car is the one that puts it all together for me.

I took the Vette on Mulholland this morning and it was a blast powering out of tight corners. Love it.

One of the nicest C5s I've ever seen! There's nothing better for stress reduction than a drive in the Corvette. After 51 years of Corvettes, my wife has always called my Corvette, "the other woman in our marriage."
