It Took Over 61 years . . . .
but I officially own my first corvette, a 2002 C5 base coupe in red with the camel interior and the 6 speed stick. Aside from maybe upgrading the radio (still up for debate amid funds replenishment), I will probably leave her as is.
Glad to finally be here and look forward to learning a lot.

Nothing wrong with leaving the car mostly stock and it sounds like you found a really nice C5. Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the Forum, Bob, and congratulations on your C5. Sounds nice!
Congratulations also your remission and here’s to many more decades!
I imagine your 40 years as a CFI has allowed you to help many flyers.
