Default First vette - nice trip !

Hi all ! New member here, we purchased an 04 coupe last November and had snow with bad roads all winter. Only had her out twice. On a last minute decision we loaded it up and made our trip to Florida last week. We have driven it many times but what fun driving the vette. I can see we are going to drive it often after this trip. Look forward to getting more info on C-05's from all of you.

Congrats on getting a chance to really enjoy the driving experience of a C5. They are very comfortable cars for taking trips and get great gas mileage to boot.
