Default another new guy

Hey everyone. I'm finishing up my last semester at Auburn University and then I'm on my way to Pensacola, FL for Navy flight school. I've wanted a vette for a long time and I think I'm actually about to buy USAFPILOT's '98. I'm going to look at in on Sunday and if it looks as good in person as it does in the pics and if it drives as good as it looks I'm going to buy it. My friend, electronblueC5, made me fall in love with the C5 after giving me a few rides in his and my roomate convinced me that a '98 or '99 C5 is actually affordable. I was actually about to buy a mustang gt, but he rescued me. Hopefully, I'll join the ranks as a vette owner within a week.

Once you get the vette, you won't want to drive anything else. Welcome
