Default New C5 Owner

I recently traded title-for-title my 2011 Harley Street Glide for a 2002 Coupe. It was time to change my two-wheel toy for something I have wanted a long time, a Corvette. This is my first Corvette which makes me a "newbie". I do have friends who own Corvettes and are quite knowledgeable about them. I had a friend go with me when I made the trade and was fortunate enough to have him look the C5 over before I jumped to the "darkside". At least that's what he called it!

I look forward to learning more about my C5 and all that goes with being a Corvette owner, which is why I wanted to join Corvette Forum (and getting to know some of you longtime members along the way)!!!!!

New tires, Cold Air Induction, and CORSA or BORLA exhaust for now!
