I like the one on top!
Still have the 04 msg 6speed coupe I bought new. She has been a wonderful car. A little HPDE time, daily driver, now with LG Pro longtubes! Such fun to drive.
Added the 69 4speed coupe about 9 years ago. She gets out at least once a week.

2007. I still have the 2000. I don't drive it as much as I use to. I have owned it for 23 years. It
is still a fast car.

A lot of good people still around, and a few good stories too.
I checked and I first logged on August 6th, 2001 after buying my first new Corvette in March of that year. It was a black/black M6 Coupe with F45 suspension, sport seats, no hud, but both the lexan and fiberglas tops. Notably, it had the first year of the polished thin spoke wheels which absolutely sold me on the car vs the prior wagon wheels.
I am on my 3rd and 4th C5 now and that will be it for me. With a family growing my needs for seats will push me to other projects, but I also will want something new to play with since I've done so much to my various C5s already.
This all started with a poster or a torch red C5 in my bedroom in '97, then in my dorm room in '98 and '99.

Bill Curlee pops on sometimes. I was showing someone the “Ranger method” of maintaining clutch fluid and realized he hasn’t been around in years. That dude definitely had the “driver mod” all manual car owners wish we had.

My profile says October of 2007 but it was actually more like March or April. I recall the site had some weird turnover where we had to re-register. Anyone remember that period?
