Hi ya'll!
I guess a proper introduction is in order. I have learned SO much about the C5 in your forum-thanks! Like everyone, I have wanted one forever, but didn't think I could swing it. The age I was getting, if I'm going to do this, I need to get going! I looked and looked to find the perfect one. It had to be a yellow, low mileage, 6 speed. I found an 04 in Dec. and hem hawed around and let it slip away. The hunt goes on. I found an 03 coupe that fit the bill with 5300 mi on her, and I didn't let that one slip away!
I still have my old 1980 black and gold special edition Turbo Trans Am, and after all these years, still is original and looks good, especially sitting next to the vette! By the way, the little yellow ride has more miles on it now!
What a car!!!
