congratulations!
I've only had mine since Dec. and I'm beyond thrilled every time I take it out.
Took it to a local car show last night and there were several older Vette's there. A '59, two '63's and a '64.
My buddy and I were commenting that every generation Corvette has amazing lines and styling and none of them regressed, just evolved, IMHO.
We then saw some Mustang's in attendance. There was a '65 and some late 70's models, where the styling went, how can I say it nicely...., uhmm, "what were they thinking?" And ironically, there was a '57 Thunderbird and '77 T-Bird there.
Made me appreciate every series of the Corvette even more.

Congrats!! Looks like a nice clean C5. You said you were looking at C3's and while I do love C3's and have owned some, the C5 is a better car in every way. Enjoy your purchase!

Great looking C5 (year, auto/manual??). Dive and enjoy the thrill of owning a legend and so far the last hidden headlight Corvette. Wise choice and no matter how bad your day is, get in and take it for a ride. Everything tends to smooth out.

Going on one year with mine. Make sure you drive it. Drive mine so much my daughter’s friends can track me in town. Great car and the Torch is a great, low-key color.
