    So, did you get your vaccination yet?

    My wife and I got the Pfizer shot this past Tuesday. Felt really tried, arm hurt and felt cold for about 16 hours, then back to normal. So happy to get it. System here at a mass vac site was well organized and run very well.

    Am I getting suckered?

    Hi There and welcome to the forum, I have had two C5's a 2004 Z06 and my current driver, a 1999 C5 6 speed coup with 78K on it. These are great cars and a really good bang for the buck. I agree with all the comments on electronics but will say that I was able to get my steering lock replaced...

    Featured What was your first car?

    First car was a 1968 Cougar with a 3 speed standard on the floor. it came with a 302. What I remember most about this car was that the engine fit was so tight that to change the # 3 spark plug you either had to lift the engine or cut a hole through the fender well , which is what I did. My...

    Great Review C5

    Great review I have a 1999 magnetic red coupe and just love it. These are great weekend cruisers which is why i got it and like you it just had to have a 6 speed. Mine does not have the HUD which i do miss as i had that on my 2004 Z06. enjoy the ride .

    Service steering column

    Good News I have fixed it myself. After a lot of research I was able to fix this "Service Column Lock" message code. As I stated earlier I knew the recall had been done in the past by a previous owner and this message only appeared after I boosted the car. The first thing I did was to clear...
