Default Hello from Central Arkansas
I haven't purchased a Vette yet but that day is coming. I have always wanted one but thought they would always be out of reach. Finally decided to go ahead and get an older one, I am partial to the C5 anyway.

I have been looking the last few months and keep going back to a '03 at a local dealership that is in good shape. The price has been dropping over the past month so I think it might be time to pull the trigger on it.

It won't be a garage queen and will be driven probably half of the time.

Looking forward to getting to know the folks around here and learning more.
