New Texas C5 Owner
Hi all I am a new C5 owner, I picked up a 2000 Torch Red A4 Coupe with 26,244 miles on it and drove it back from S. Carolina where I bought it. This is the start of completing a 30 year dream of owning a Vette when I almost talked my Dad into buying a new '77. Intead ended up with a '77 Trans Am. Very cool car, but not by any means a Vette. I love the C5 it is a wonderful car and even after waiting 30 years owning a Vette still has the same satisfaction that I always imagined. Dreams do come true, they may just take a while.

Welcome aboard and congrats on the 2000 Corvette. 
It only took me 48 years to get my first and what a thrill it has been.
