Hello Everybody!!! Well I finally got my First Corvette and I am loving it. I was lucky to find a one owner 2003 convertible that is almost perfect and at a price so low that I'm afraid to tell you how much for fear of getting arrested!!! LoL! It's millennium yellow with a black interior. I've owned many high performance car's in my life but I really love this one. I bought a 03 because I wanted hide away headlights and as you know the C5'S are the last ones to have this feature. It has a recent paint job which is very well done and new Good Year's run-flat tires. Almost every car I've owned I can't seem to keep my hands off the engine as far as Performance goes. My Corvette is a virgin having never been messed around with that is until now. I'm not going to do all sorts of crazy things just simply upgrades. I found a exhaust system, new injectors, coils and a little bit of rubbing on the intake system. I'm not going to open up the motor as I think Chevy did an awesome job on it already. The first thing I'm working on is the interior. Fixing all those weak areas that most C5 owners face. I'll keep you posted on my progress. I'm excited to find a place to go to for support and to talk and share with like minded people. Thanks for the advice I've already gotten from the site on interior issues. I think I've found a second home.
