I love mine, too. But, if anything has started to take the luster off a little is the fact that GM seems to put the engine in every other car they make. The 2005 GTO will have the LS2, as will the SSR, the Cadillac CTS-V, etc, etc. It irritates the hell out of me. The cars performance should be GM's ultimate. After all, that's what created the legend and made it endure.

I just wish GM/Chevy would catch a clue on how to do proper maintance on their cars.
OK now I am back in the honeymoon stage of owning a Vette.

I havent even had my Corvette for a week and I can tell you for certain im not going to get bored of this car anytime soon. I dust the car and wheels after every drive and have the hugest smerk on my face everytime im behind the wheel.
After buying this car I feel im part of this huge family. Yesterday alone I got three waves from other corvette drivers. Such a great feeling.

Enthralled
First became enthralled with Corvette in 1968 when I was still in my teens. Found a Stingray that I fell in love with. My insurance agent informed me that although I probably could afford the car, I definitely COULD NOT afford the insurance. I gave in and did not get the Stingray. 
Finally gave in just last month when my wife found our new baby, an 02 Vert, called me that she had fallen in love and would I write a check. Having been sorta looking for over a year, my wife's love of the car was met with only "how much do I write the check for?". No insurance problem now. Anyway, we now share rights to it during the week and share it together on weekends. Call me enthralled.

Has my enthusiasm diminished? 
, no, much to my wifes dismay! I
have always taken good care of the vehicles I've owned. But none of
them have ever captivated me to the extent my vette (this and the
previous one) has. I put headers on my first car (a Pinto, yes go ahead
and laugh, I am) and an aftermarket exhaust on a 95 Camaro. I was
getting a good start with mods on the first vette until I traded it.
Now with this vette, its nuts. My sig shows the major stuff I've done but
I've added several mods not listed and theres more on the way!! Then
I get to drive it!!!!!
Then to clean and maintain it. While I
don't enjoy doing this as much as I enjoy driving it, its a close second.
Then I admire it a while, then do this forum thing, and then the whole
cycle starts over again! Its great, I love it!
Has my enthusiasm diminished? I don't think so!

Bought my first Vette, a 1957, 46 years ago. Owned a C1, two C2s, a C4 and my current C5. Thought the C5 might be the last one but I think there may just be C6 in my future. These things do keep you young.
But she does like gifts all the time. She needs money all the time 
and I just give in all the the time
