Hello everyone
HI All,
Just stopping it to say hi,
I just bought a 2001 Magnetic Red Convertible. Stopped in the forum a couple weeks ago to look up some fix info. Like all used cars it needs a little TLC.
The body is in great shape not counting the paint chips.
Seat cushions are broken down flat
Driver seat controls mangled with busted adjuster ****.
So far everything has been an easy fix, I just ordered the adjuster cable assembly, looks to be an interesting afternoon.
Anyways, Thank you everyone for sharing your information it is helping me a lot.
Here are a few pics I took..
At Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway
Cheers All

Just wanted to say thanks for the greetings.
Everyone should commute in a Vette.
I didn't mention, this is my 2nd C5, i had a blue 99 Coupe a few years ago. Someone decided one day to move it from it's parking spot using the front of a truck. Have you ever seen a C5 after being T-boned by a 1-ton truck at (they estimated) 75 MPH? it was messy but no one was hurt even the drunk teenager that stole it walked away unharmed.
Lots of good info here
Ya all have a great weekend!
