Default Finally bought a Corvette
Greetings,

After many decades of admiring the Corvette, we finally bought this 98. The car is more than I expected and I am very pleased to finally owning one.

On a side note: this site rocks and I have learned many things on here for our C5. Thank you to all

Jeff

Nice looking car. Welcome to the madness that is "CORVETTE". Tell us a little about your car and you. Oh and by the way black corvette's are faster than any other color.
