The passenger side of the "DUAL AC" only blows hot air.
The gas pedal goes down to easy causing me to drive faster then I should.

After I bought it, I noticed it had a dent in the top (Should have gotten a vert) But......... I must say my glove department is squeak and rattle free (knock on wood). And I wonder if identical twins have identical C5's? Sheesh; go figure!

The big problem is that the car is really fun to drive really fast.

Another problem is that the car looks so cool.

One thing that isn't a problem is that I look so much better in my 'Vette or on my Harley than I do in my truck.

Of course my stunningly beautiful girlfriend makes my 'Vette look even better when she's in the passenger seat with me.

Ever since I got my C5, My bank account has been unstable! I'm not sure if the two are related, but I sure seem to "loose" money and strangly, my car has mods on it very soon after!

My alarm has a mind of its own.

The engine gets to redline too quickly in the first couple of gears.
