Default Proud Corvette Owner

Hi all, I have owned several Corvettes through the years but have never been a Corvette Forum Member. A friend of mine recommend I hook up with this site for sharing information on all related information concerning Corvettes. I currently have a 1999 C5 which I will be wanting to gain and share information about. I am a real senior in my 80"s and live near Cincinnati, Ohio and founded the Vettes for Veterans Corvette Club as a 501c3 Charitable Organization. During my 3 years as President we raised nearly $40,000 for Homeless Veterans through our Annual Car Show. Unfortunately after stepping down as President the new club officers were unsuccessful in keeping the club active. This was a very sad situation for helping our worthy Veterans in need of assistance. Too old to go through this again and just want to enjoy fellowship with other Corvette owners.

Welcome! I really like the 1999 C5, especially in black. I would like to buy such a car, honestly. I found winred and I am thinking about getting a loan. When I get a loan, then I will decide which model of the coupe I will buy. But I promise to share this with you first
