Default Making a change - thanks C5 friends

Sold the "Red Rocket" this week, time to move to something newer since I depend on it for daily transportation. I sure have had fun with the 97 though - lots of adventures, mods, track time, cruises..all the good Corvette culture. I have had a GREAT time on C5 general and have learned so much - have had lots of laughs along the way. Thanks so much to the real tech guys on here for all the info - and to all for the fun commentary. I'm buying a 2005 Coupe from my brother - pics attached. I sure do plan on keeping up with the C5 forum too to see what you are all up to. Best wishes to all

Gary

You are lucky/fortunate. I had to trade my C5 in for a sedan. I'd have rather had a C6 like you.

Best

First model-years for both your C5 and C6! '97 and '05! Some window tint would look really good with the painted halo.
