Hi all. new member to the forum. I owned a 77 Corvette years back. I recently bought a C5. Sold my 10 second Buick Grand National. I intend to drive the corvette and enjoy it, not daily but certainly more than just shows/cruise nights.
I'll stop in here time to time and check out the topics of discussion, and participate as much as possible.
here are a few pics...

considered black out on the tail lights but not sure how will look. i'll give more thought, but so far I like as it. I have the black powder coated screens for the fog light, side vent and rear on their way. Keeping it sparkling clean is a must.
and yes, there a lot of cars in the backround, and yes, they're all mine, lol.

Welcome and nice looking C5 you bought.
I'd recommend you begin posting in the various C5 sections of the forum - you'll find plenty of discussion about your car.

aint it funny how when you 1st get something, it's fresh and exiting and then ya kinda grow bored of it, meanwhile others would love to have what you have right. I had a 65 Shelby Cobra that I sold before I found another GN.
