Default Birthday Vette
I picked up my (early) 60th Birthday present yesterday. I've have a C3 for years (owned a C6 for a while) but wanted to add a C5 Vert to the garage for a long time. I finally found the torch red beauty I've always wanted.

Howdy to the C5 family!

There is one just like that about 1/2 mile from me which I've had my eye on. Hope he throws a for sale sign on it so can I add to my collection of one so far. You have a fine looking car!

If that doesn't' take the sting out of turning 60 nothing will.

Post-count-padding cleverly disguised as a compliment. Nice looking car!
