Having had a C4 and C5 Corvette you made the correct choice of which one to keep. Happy retirement!

Thanks. That 86 was a beast and fun but I didn't trust it for a long trip. I have owned 3 c4s but this c5 is a keeper every thing is smooth and nice I really enjoy it and the wife also.

That was a nice looking C4 that you had but keeping the C5 was a very good decision.

I loved our our C4. I did alot of similar mods. It was fun to drive. If I had a do over I think I should've kept the C4. Great to hear you kept at least one.
Good Luck

Glad to hear you also enjoy your wife, marriage seems to work out way better that way! Great looking C4, I've always had a soft spot for them even tho they get a lot of bad press. Love to see some pics of the C5.
