Finally!
Just bought my first corvette at the advice of my doctor to cure my mid-life crisis (God bless him). My new old vette is an ‘02 C5 blue convertible with no performance upgrades. Bought it from a private seller two days ago (God bless her) and I offer no apologies for my irresponsible and wreckless decision. Truth be told I owe much gratitude to those who authored the tech and general info. articles about the best car I have ever owned. Your info. gave me confidence and assurance that 2002 was a good production year for the Corvette.
Peace
Peace

Congrats on your new old 2002 Vette! Here’s to the cure. My crisis started about 5 years ago. Two Corvettes later and I’m still battling it. I’m searching for my third now. It seems as though the proverbial mid-life crisis just might be a chronic condition. Best of luck and enjoy!

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your C5!
Don't worry about the mid-life crisis....it will pass....I think....I've been in mine for for decades, though!
