Default Hello and Thanks!
Picked up a neglected and lightly-damaged C5 a month ago and have been amazed by the depth of knowledge (and overall civility) of the corvetteforum community.

Bringing this car back to life would not have been possible without you -- huge thanks!

PS Pic from the day I got it (dark bowling green with fancy custom pinstripe) home from salvage auction:

Got the car on the road and I LOVE it! I've owned quite a few Japanese and German performance cars, but the C5 takes the cake. It's a real experience.

Here's a more recent pic:
