Finally got my first Vette!
Hello all, I finally fulfilled a long time wish a bought my first Corvette. Its a '99 C5 that had 28,770 miles on it and had been very well cared for and rarely saw anything put beautiful, sunny California weather. Its Arctic White and has a six speed, FE1 and F45 (which I don't much care for) but the price was right. I have already swapped out the sway bars and have a running list of mods that will be undertaken in the future. Hope to look to all of you for your informed input and assistance in making the right choices as this forum has already been more assistive than the dealer and local Vette guru. Thanks in advance.
