New Guy Here Saying Hello
Hey everyone, just wanted to say Hi! I just found this site today. This site rocks. It looks like I can get alot of useful information here.
Anyway, a little background. I just bought a 99 C5 about 6 months ago from my dad. Before that, I was into the import racing/sportbike scene (yea, I know). At first, I was just going to keep it maybe a year and then re-sell it for a G35 or RX8. But now I'm hooked, everytime I see it, I can't help but appreciate the gorgeous lines of the body. I think I'm going to keep this car forever and hopefully I can pass it on to my kids.
Well that's about it. I look forward to posting here often.

Ahh young Jedi, welcome aboard. Be careful of the dreaded MOD creature, it lurks just below. Keep your light sword at hand for once bitten by this bug, it is a long expensive road, but one you will experience much pleasure from. ENJOY! Stay on this fourm and you will learn ALOT!

Welcome!
I too am new to Vettes (got my C5 a few months ago) and considered a G35. Whew.. Almost blew that one! 
Anyway, welcome, many miles of many smiles, and dont forget to wave when you see other Vettes (not just c5's).... Oh yea, and dont listen to them about that mod thing... Its not that bad... Ive had mine 4 months already and have only got exhaust, intake, cam (not in yet), thermostat (not in yet), and some decorative stuff. Ok, I guess it is that bad.
