Hello from Bakersfield, CA
I recently purchased a black 2002 C5 targa top and have been having a blast driving and learning all about it. The first Vette I owned was a '57 back in 1966. Family, career and house payments made it impractical to have a Vette but am now retired so I found the one I had been dreaming about for the past several years. I couldn't be happier.

Hey there, "dubtrub", welcome to the Corvette hobby and the CF.
Since you just bought the Corvette you've always wanted, you and your Wife ought to take a Corvette road trip vacation on the National Corvette Caravan this August.
For more info on the Caravan from SoCal, visit the SoCal/SoNev/SWUt web page by clicking here.
