Happy 13th anniversary

On this date 13 years ago picked up my new 04 convertible CE.
Been a great car!
Ogling a new GS for a while now but still not sure.
Don't drive the 04 as much as I'd like but still puts a smile on my face when I do and still get constant compliments/conversations about it.

Like you, I have also been eyeing the new C7 for a while now but my '99 still puts a huge smile on my face and everytime I walk away from it I still find myself looking back at it several times. The C5 is still my favorite genertion Corvette.

That's awesome! Can't be many of us left... I picked up my '02 in 1/02, so I'm closing in on 16yrs.

There have been a couple of threads on "original owners" during the past year. Quite a few still out there, here is a link to one of the earlier threads.
