Finally, my first C5!!!!
Well, it has been a few years in the making, but I am finally the proud owner of my first ever Corvette! 
Picked up a '99 C5 Coupe w/ 35K on it. She is in mint condition and I could not be happier. Thanks to the forum as I have been lurking for a while before I baught and learned some good info. Bear with me as I am learning and am sure to have many questions here in the future. I received and gave my first wave today. I feel the same connection with Vette owners as with Harley owners. It is great to be alive.
