I wouldn't wear it all the time cause obviously it looks more like a racing jacket as one put it then an everyday jacket, and there will be a times and places for it.

As for a picture she'd kill me if she knew but she won't be on here since she doesn't understand computers lol
Absolutely. She looks sweet and she thought she was buying you something special. Just make sure you wear it with the right attitude!

I have an "OLD" one in the closet. kinda metallic covering with the usual 'Vette' stuff on it. Couldn't figure out how to clean it then, and the cleaners were afraid to try.
Today it hangs, almost "Brittle", untouched in almost as long as some of you "Whipper-Snappers" have been breathing..... LOL
(Oh, in a plastic bag too, it <sadly> smells too)

Well if there is no easy way to clean it, there is always putting soap and water in a spray bottle and spraying it on the jacket and then gently hosing it off and then air dry.

But in your case based on what your telling us, moving it would fall apart

Actually, if she had a nice Corvette bustier and thong to go with it, that would be acceptable IMO.

I actually like it. Unzipped, baggy jeans, and high tops. I'm 21, so my fashion sense is a bit different from you guys

Actually mine bought my C5 as well in Oct. as a present. She wouldnt take the money back cause I didnt want her to spend money on me, so since she wouldn't take back the money, I booked a 10 day vacation to Hawaii for us this Oct.
