Looks very nice. Did you take your medicine to prevent mod disease?

I was looking before I actually picked it up.

Nothing major though. Will get some mats (probably for Christmas since the wife "never knows what to get me"), exhaust (in time) and some day tires and rims (not a huge fan of the wagon wheels, but they aren't as bad as I thought seeing them in person).

Well, hello brother from another mother! Congratulations on realizing your long awaited goal. I too have a black/black '99 vert, 6m, and though I've owned a number of vettes in the past, I've enjoyed my C5 vert more than any in the past. Put that drop top down, load up with good tunes, get your gal and enjoy the long rides, sun and wind, makes for a great, great day! You don't mention anything about the maintenance situation, but make sure all is well. Looks like a nicely maintained vette. Good luck and best wishes!
