Default It was 20 years ago today
That my Fairway green 1998 Corvette was built.
Figured I'd put a few pics up in its honor.

Thanks to all on this forum who informed and steered me towards my first Vette. Its wonderful to be here. Its certainly a thrill.

The lyric in the subject line was not lost on me.
I did include more lyrics to the song in my original post.

Eventually maybe. But personally I don't find the wagon wheels as offensive as most.

That's a long love affair with a car. If I go 20 years with mine, I'll be 80 years old (certified old fart). Keep enjoying the ride!

Beautiful car, I like green. Leave the wagon wheels on! I have left them on my 99FRC.

The silver WWs don't look bad, but they really pop in chrome...

Thing is, so many people have replaced the WWs with some other style of wheels that it's actually more rare to see a C5 with them on...I like them...
