Loving My C5
new to Corvette ownership and loving it. Been a dream to own a true sports car and now I do. Bought my commemorative edition first of April. I have found that these cars are a labor of love. Keeping her clean and shiny is the biggest issue.
As a new owner I was excited to take her to a Vette show...went to Bloomington Gold in Indy and I must say....I was a bit disappointed in the show but still managed to have a blast. I was hoping for a lot more vendors. It also seemed a bit unorganized. The highlight was the 3 lap on the speedway WOW what an awesome time that was.
