Hello from Oklahoma
Couple of months ago I sold my Boxster, but wasn't sure what to buy to replace it.
Just a couple of weeks later saw a C5 convertible just down the street for sale. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would want a Yellow Corvette, until I went and saw this one.
Now I can't imagine not having a Yellow Corvette.
Hope to learn a few things here, and contribute where I can.

Congrats on coming over to the Corvette side of car ownership. And a good choice in picking a C5.

Welcome aboard and congrats on your C5! How does it feel to own one? How's the enjoyment been?

My wife tells me the same thing. 
Just about 500lbs more than the Boxster, but nearly double the horsepower, so it feels dynamic!
I guess the one thing that surprises me is how people fawn over this car. I can't go anywhere without someone wanting to talk to me about it, and just stand around and gawk at it.

And I'm not surprised to hear about the attention it brings! Get adjusted to it
