Featured She's Home!

[Gummiente]

Picked up my new to me 97 C5 today and got to know her a bit better on the 1.5hr drive home. There were a few rattles and chitters, as expected from a 23yr old car, but otherwise the ride was amazing. Felt like being in a skateboard and the burbling note from the Borla exhaust was absolute heaven to my ears.

I finally have my dream car!

Congratulations! now try to wipe that silly-ass grin off your face!

 

[Rruuff Day]

Don't listen to Paul. That silly-ass grin never goes away.

 

[Gummiente]

Silly ass grin, indeed! Was up at 03:30 this morn, had to go outside to check on her.

Went through all the items found in the various cubby holes and found the original owner's manual pouch with the manual, roadside assistance pamphlet and cards, Corvette pen, penlight and notepad. Also have the remotes for the stereo and the trunk mounted 6 CD changer, as well as the original sales folder with brochure and a copy of the build sheet. Bonus!

And when you park her you will walk a few steps, then turn around to look at he once or twice more.... Then at a restaurant you will try to get a table by the window where you can see her.... lol.... And don't forget the Corvette wave to other Vette drivers you see.. lol... miles of smiles ahead...

Congrats on your "new" Vette. I felt the same way about mine and years later still do. Every time I walk by it I give it a little pat on the rump. Feel free to compare C5 notes with us anytime.

Congrats!!! C5 is an AWSOME car. Had mine for 15 years before I was able to move on. Lots of help available here if you have any issues or questions.
Cheers, Bob

 

[Dave91TM]

Congrats. Have had ours for 15 years. Have spent money for 15 years. Have enjoyed every minute. Puts a grin on your face and the rest of the world doesn't matter.
I too give it a pat every time I walk past, turn back for a second look in a parking lot and sit where I can see it.
Wave and enjoy.
