Default Finally got one!!!

After many years of searching, dreaming and lurking here - I FINALLY got my C5! A beauty too. A 2004 Commemorative Edition in LeMans blue, 6 speed with under 10k miles.

Bought it from a great guy that is also a Corvette Forum member who has taken great care of this car. I feel honored to have the opportunity to buy it and also take care of this awesome ride.

I couldn't be more thrilled!!

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your C5! Sounds sharp.
You've probably already seen it, but lots of great info on 5th generation Vettes in that part of the forum at: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-1997-2004-2/
Enjoy!
