I picked up a 99 FRC this summer. I love this car.
I wasn't even looking for a Vette. I needed a new car, and I was disgusted with what sort of car a budget of 20-25K could get me. Not much therse days. Then I saw a 2002 convertible at a dealership, and I wondered if I even fit my 6'5" body. I gave it a try, and I fit. I couldn't work out a deal on the 2002, but I started looking for a C5 in earnest, and found the one above in Yuma. I was still set on spending between 20-25K on a car, but I managed to scoop this one for 11K.
This is actually my rainy day car, since I ride motorcycles most of the time. But I keep it clean and running well, and I just made room for it in the garage with the motorcycles.
Hope to meet some of you Az. locals down the road.

Thanks guys.
Dadvan, route 66 has some great old school charm. The road to/from Oatman isn't the best, but the views are nice. I've done it all at one time or another on my motorcycle, but not in the car.
