Long time 'wanna be' Corvette owner; long time hoped that'd take place before 60. Didn't quite make it. But figure it's time to do so while I still have enough reaction time to drive one safely and not put myself or others in harms way! Looking to purchase a C5 ; anticipate being as active on the forum as I can (have a 2 kids adopted from foster care that won't turn 18 until I'm 72+) make time for. Long time Mazda fan/owner (Miatae, RX-7s, RX-8). Long felt like my Miata were like 'small Vettes' ; except I could go WOT in one an never hurt myself or others (or reveal to the Civic next to me I was 'racing it'). Also long time fan of Deal's Gap / Tail of the Dragon for those who've been.

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your C5 search. A C5 is a great car and will be a real hoot to drive.
