Finally...I got a C5!
Well boys and girls...I am finally the proud new owner of a 1997 Corvette! I am SO excited!!! It will be delivered this week...and I'll have it by the weekend! So...bring it on...what do you guys think?
Adam - thanks for my new California cleaners
CE-LT4 - thanks for all your help today...
It's time to celebrate. I'm organizing a Corvette get together to see the Roger Girke band (the band we had at Corvettes for a Cure in July) at the Blue Parrot in Wilmington on Saturday, September 6th. I need to let the manager know an approximate number of people - please PM me or respond to this thread if you're interested. Here's the club info: http://www.blueparrotgrille.com/ and Roger's site: http://www.rogergirke.com/
Here's a few pix from the show...

Angela, that is awesome! I am so happy for you! Ed & I have already written the Roger Girke night on our calendar and hope to see you and the vette then. Again, congratulations and best of luck with the new baby!

Well, you already have the California Duster, now you just need to get people's opinions on which polish and wax is best. Some will say Meguiers, some will saw Mothers, some will say Zanio, etc.... better do some surveying and research!
Welcome to the world of Vette ownership!
I can't wait till I get to drive it!
I just thought of something... you'd really rather have a "classic" Vette. Plus Black is really hard to keep clean! So I'll trade you my Red C3 for your Black C5!!!

Geez Adam - I haven't even taken possession yet and you want me to give it up??? I think a C3 will be my next purchase
I would love to hear what everyone's opinions are on cleaners and I need a good all-weather cover. Any thoughts?
