Default Introduction

Hi everyone! I have a 2004 C5 Convertible, Medium Spiral Gray Metallic, Cam, Maggie, Callaway Honker, GHL stainless, B&M precision shifter & a few other upgrades of little consequence. I am a 58 y/o retired disabled combat veteran. This is my last of 6 Corvettes I've had, but I love it. It has 5206 miles on it, and comes out from under the covers for special occassions. (Makes me feel good.) I walked into the dealership believing I wanted a 2006 C6 convert but just could not settle with the new headlights. (Silly) So they showed me this new 04 and thats it I bought it and started buying power adders and here I am. My name is Rick, but Ricco was all that was available.

Welcome to the forum, Rick!

I love the Spiral Gray. Great color. Wish I could afford the vettes that had it.
