Welcome to the forum and great looking 'Vette. Now, get a second mortgage on the house, pilfer the kids college fund, raise the limits on your credit cards in preparation for the mod disease that will follow. Just giving you some sage advice.

I bought mine last May, and it seems that no matter how much I spend " I'm always $3000 away from having it just the way I want it". LMAO..... If I had it to do over again I would do it the same thing again. Enjoy your C5!!!!!
