Hello I have a 2001 C5 coupe and just moved to Flossmoor Il from Arizona this month. I'am looking for a Corvette club to join in the area. Also would like to know if there's a list of events for the South Chicago area that I could attend??
Thanks

Love the car except the ongoing problem with the headlights not popping up. Can't find anyone that can fix the problem but still love the car.

Great to hear you're enjoying it. Have you been to a certified Chevrolet dealer for the headlights concern or just independent mechanics?

I've been to two corvette shops in Arizona and had light motors replaced as well as headlight module but still have problem. Took it to Homewood chevy the other day they said they'd have to go through all electrical components at $115 hr so don't know as I would throw more money out the window and have same results.
