The search is half the fun
Thanks C5 forum members.
Had it not been for a suggestion to visit this forum I would not have had the opportunity to receive the informative /open-minded information from you the valued members. With your essential basic info, I think I will be able to make a decent choice on the purchase of my first Corvette. Without your assistance I imagine I would have purchased something second-rate & soon would have regretted it. I didn’t realize all my different options. Now with knowledge in hand & test driving numerous C5’s the choices to be made seem to be clearer, mostly personal choices. I distinctly remember a recommendation to take my time, to slow down and find the vehicle that “calls to me”. That makes perfect sense. The search is half the fun. Thanks.

Correction: The search is on 10 percent of the fun. The real fun begins when you OWN a Corvette and you start the MOD'S. Enjoy every moment and remember finding your Corvette is just like finding you first love....you will know IT!!

Remember - this is a car that dreams are made from. Having said that - never compromise on what that dream car is.
Wait until you experience that euphoria of the moment the keys are in your hand to your first Corvette. I know I'll never forget it!

Good luck on the search. If you think that is fun, wait until you own one. Its an experience everyone should try at least once.
