Default New to me C5 Pitstop (pic)

So I drove to San Antonio, TX from Lubbock, TX to pick up my new Torch Red 2000 C5. I've been looking for the right car for a couple of months and I'm really happy with the one I found. Super clean car with 57K on her. Glad to be back in the Corvette pool!
Had a great 6.5 hour trip back home to get familiar with it. Made a pit stop somewhere around Mason, TX for a little Techron and cold beer!

That would be The Hill Top Cafe. Great place to grab a bite and some really cool auto memorabilia.

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm looking forward to throwing money at it now. I agree, the C6 chrome wheels really set this car off. Everyone notices them and they look very classy IMHO.

I'm a photographer on the side, so expect to see lots of pics. Thanks again and I'm glad to be here with all of you.
