New C5owner
I have lusted after a Corvette since I was very young. Now at 63 and semi retired I have Findlay bagged a 2001 silver c5 auto. Very low miles and runs great. 26 years in the Navy (deep sea diver turned chaplain) many moves, and little kiddies are now behind me and I got my first true American muscle icon. With only 37k on the clock this coupe is like new. Any recommendations would be appreciated. BTW, I intend to keep it bone stock, why? Because I will not mess with perfection.
Blessings on all,
Greg D.

Congrats on your Vette purchase. Once it's in your blood you're in trouble.!
I had 2 C5's previously and recently(2-3 mons ago) just got this 2005 C6 beauty. I believe this is what retirement is all about!!!!! 
Good Luck!!
