Default i'm back!

Well after being away for a spell and not a being a vette owner, I missed the ride, driving pleasure, and ownership of a C5. I just purchased a very nice and well taken care of 2000 white over red specimen. This car is more easy on the mind than the expensive paint finish on the anniversary edition that I previously owned. The Lexus and Miata just did not meet the need.

Welcome back to the Corvette C5 world! I, too, live in Port Charlotte, FL. I currently have two supercharged 2000 Corvettes (silver coupe and magnetic red coupe).
