Default Hello everyone
New here and so glad to join this group. I have just purchased my recently deceased sisters 2000 C5 and have so much to learn about this car. I am a retired Tech so most learning should be easy. Wishing everyone the best !

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your C5!
Condolences on the passing of your sister, but great that you now are the caretaker for her Corvette. Perhaps you can just “picture” her there riding along with you.
