Default New C5 owner!
Hi all, greetings from Quebec, Canada!


My wife and I decided to move from 2 wheels to 4. Traded in our trusty Goldwing, and bought our first Vette. 2004 targa top.












See you all over at the C5 section. I already have a little DIY project for you all.

Thanks. It really knocked my socks off when I first laid eyes on it. The test drive clinched the move.

Our first desire was for a 68/69 427 convertible, but the lack of availability of anything reasonable in province, as well as our retarded tax laws, put an end to that plan pretty quick. The C5 was the next logical choice.
