New Owner!!!
Just saying hi! Just bought my Vette tonight trading in my 2011 Honda Insight Hybrid. New owner of a red 1999 C5 with 33,000 miles on it. Its a time capsule!!! Can't wait to remove those side mouldings!

Thanks everyone. I feel like a giddy little kid. I remember seeing my first Vette as a 5 year old (Sledgehammer) at an Auto show and I was hooked!!! Best part of this car is I was able to get a 100K warranty on it so I feel like I basically bought a new car!

What body style of 99? Coupe, (FRC) Fixed Roof Coupe, or Convertible?
Good luck with it. If it is a FRC let me know.
