Welcome Back! I came back to the forum after a dry spell too. I moved from my C4 to a C5 Convertible just a couple months ago. Lots of new stuff to learn about your new-to-you Corvette. Some things are the same or similar, but lots of great new stuff.

here she is
this the c5 i purchased first part of last november. sorry i have taken so long to get back here, just got busy....retirement is worse than being at work. but i have also been busy getting acquainted with the car, and there is so much that is different from the c4's. i have driven it only about 4 or 5 times, when it stops raining. i remember right after i bought the car, i could not believe it myself, and it takes me quite a while for my heart rate to come down after i drive it. i live in the 7 lakes area just south of lake goodwin, west of marysville. keep in touch, and let me know any meetings are being organized.

Congrats on the retirement and C5. I bought mine as a retirement gift to myself too. 
I love retirement. Living life at my own pace is great, and I do as much or little as I want every day.
