BTW, this car is no car show queen, it's not up to the level of perfection I see in some of you guys cars. It's dirty underneath, it's got road rash behind the wheels from stuff chipping the paint over the years. But the one thing this car does well is it's a hoot to drive and it certainly draws a crowd when it's out in public.
This is a video from a few weeks ago when I had to replace my water pump and just before installing my red leather dash....hope you guys enjoy it.

So many times when I see pics of your car Rick it looks unbelievable, like its a not a real car, so much so I think it's a model at first glance
everything flows and goes together so well, just a insane build. Engine bay pops, I get a smile everytime I see it.
Your car is the poster car for the C5 forums, one of the nicest cars here by a long shot!!!!!

It does have that "Hot Wheels" look so to speak, and have lots of kids and Dads tell me that.
I bought the car because the owner offered it to me for a good price but it was just stock. I then started to "build" what I really wanted and over the years it's become the car I love and would never sell it now. GM hit it out of the ballpark with this generation and it only gets better as time goes on. I intend to make this C5 the beast it is under the hood and as eye catching as it can be to those who appreciate a cars look and stance.

The white is just so easy. My previous cars were silver, and orange, and neither looked as good when dirty. Did a quick photo shoot with a friends black z06 (which had just been cleaned) and it still looked dirtier than my car.

WOW!! How in the hell have I missed this car!! Married to my job is the problem...
Rick, extremely nice execution of a modded C5 both inside and out, it just screams, you can't miss me, very well done.
I as well as you drive my car when I can, and with 88,000+ on the odometer it's no garage queen.
Once again, that is a spectacular example of a modded C5 with a passionate owner.

Love this car. It has always been one of the inspirations to the transition my vette has made. Love the white and red theme. Its.going look killer once you get your rear diffuser installed. Your the kid down the street that was the first to get the coolest new thing that everyone wanted. Hey mom Ricky has the coolest vette in town. Can I have one. Lol! Awesome job. Keep the inspiration going.
love the vette
