Default Finally got a C5!
Well I'm only 20 but I've had 5 Fbodys (still have my v6 daily lol) and they just weren't filling a void I felt. Well I worked my **** off and saved my pennies. As soon as I drove my now new to me C5 I knew I was hooked. Dropped some pictures of how I spent my first day with my new baby. Thanks for having me!





Before.





After





1998 C5

Welcome and looks like you did a great job cleaning it up!

I am 23 and have owned C1s-C5s. Glad to see another young Vette owner! Congratulations!

Sweet ride. Mine is same color combo. It's never a chore to have the opportunity to detail your own vette is it? A privilege really.
