New Corvette owner. I've been trying to talk the wife into allowing me to get one for some time. She was fine with me getting one, but I had to sell my Z28 first. It was not even an option to me.
I had a plan and took her to the Corvette Plant for a tour, and then to the museum. After a great day, we headed home. Within 20 miles of leaving Bowling Green, she said we NEEDED one. I was told the Z28 could stay. Found a 2000 FRC in Nassau Blue with 62k on it. The rest is history.

I actually stumbled across it in Shepherdsville. I was looking at C6's. I happened to check on CarGuru, and this was there. It has always been a favorite, and when it was not half way to Tibet, I could not let it slip by. I have been taken by the Nassau Blue C5 since they were introduced.
