Default The new old guy

Just wanted to say hey from Round Rock, Texas. Wanted a vette ever since I was a kid and finally got the exact one I wanted at the ripe age of 47. 2000 C5, arctic white coupe, I am the second owner it had 26k original miles on it. I have been searching for a long time located this one the first day it was listed. Carfax report was excellant and there are no interior or exterior flaws. Paid 23k, had just sold a truck for 11k so the vette is paid for what a deal eh. Pictures to follow.

Default Thanks for the welcome

Yep been in Round Rock for over 20 years myself and have certainly seen the growth. Population is around 65k during the day increases to around 80 due to dell and the increase in industry, KIA, Mall, etc.

Aha!! You are part of the traffic problem up there. Hope that does not mean that we will begin to abuse you (too much). LOL

Congrats on your first vette, Wardog!! I know how you feel. I did the same thing a few months ago. I have been in San Antonio for the past several days and traveled through Round Rock coming and going. Now I am just north of Dallas, continuing my vacation. Small world!! Welcome to the Forum, they're great and you will also meet a lot of new friends.
