New member first corvette!
What's up everyone, very happy to finally own a corvette. I've been looking for one for sometime and finally landed a very clean 2000 C5. Car is a 2 owner car (first owner had it only for 6 months) second owner has had it for 16 years!! It was owned by an older gentleman and was always garage kept and in show room condition with only 45k original miles. Hoping to gain some knowledge and learn as much as possible since this is my first corvette and first LS car in general. I will upload pics as soon as I am off of work
Thanks in advance!
