No James, your post and thread topic was fine...
its just that some new members go out of their way to be an ***, and drag this forum down.

To put it bluntly, its people like this who bring down this forum. And its only been in recent years that this level of bottom feeder finds its way to this otherwise great forum.

Getting back on track....

Unfortunately I don't see very many, I can go weeks without seeing another; of course, I kinda live and work outside the closest metropolitan area (Raleigh).

Then again, I'll go some weeks and pass 2 or 3 - - luck of the draw I guess...

Because this is the corvette forum where we come to talk about corvettes. If you dont like this topic, move on to another thread.

Even in summer I rarely see any vettes, especially if im in mine. Strange

Typically on Saturdays and Sundays if the weather is nice I see a good bunch. Most of them are C6's though its very seldom that i run into another C5 anymore around here.

depends on the weather. i will saying that having a z06 is pretty cool. i rarely see another one on the road. lot of coupes and verts though. in my area c5's are the most commonly seen on the road of all the generations...and they still aren't that common

This is an interesting question and one I think about all the time... I usually go about 3 days without seeing a Corvette.... then I go three days with seeing 1 corvette every day (C6 coupe, or c5coupe or Z)... then a few days without seeing a corvette...

I daily drive my car, and id say it's rare to see "NICE" modded C5's around my area.

Also, I don't really notice another C5 unless it's shiny/modded and catches my attention lol

Other than that, the ones I do see are bone stock and boring. Nothing really to appreciate IMO. I guess I'm just one of those new annoying members that's all for modding, instead of keeping it stock.

Was out this weekend going up to Jackson Ca, saw a C5 there and one just coming out of Woodbridge, another convertible. Always look when I am out...I enjoy the tradition of the wave. When I was 16 my first car was an Austin Healey 100 in 1963. Very few sports cars on the road then and the wave was to any sports car...great tradition.

2 weeks ago I drove I-10 from Phoenix to Florida and only saw a few vettes over the 2000 miles. Then from Gainesville to Savannah I saw dozens.
