My first corvette!
1999 Corvette Convertible 6-Speed! It's been 2 weeks and I'm having a blast driving it around streets. This torch red is so bright and getting so much attention. I can't believe a 15 year old car still get that look and a few people revving their engine on a stop light right next to me. That must be normal for sports car people? Anyway, so far so good! The only problem I have so far is the headlight opening intermittent but I just changed it both to brass gears.

Great looking '99 you bought. The C5 has such a great design that even though it is at a minimum 11 years old, it still turns heads.

I'm changing the black leather seats as it has a few wear and tear. I ordered one from eBay with the black and red sports seat synthetic leather replacement. Also had the red and black console arm rest and wheels. Got the Lloyds Matt with red. I'm still looking for the 6 speed shift boots red and black and the shifter but no luck. I'm also doing the tune up myself and replacing spark plugs/wires. PCV valve and fuel filter.

Here's a shot after the neighbor's gardener blew all the dust and dead leaves all over my car after I had it waxed early morning.
