When you start wondering how you can do more mods without asking your wife then you will know you have been indoctrinated to the club

Me too. I bought my 77 T/A in March of 1980, with 11000 miles on it, now is showing 59,000. I have to admit I haven't driven it much since I bought the vette.

Congrates on finding a new old C5. That's a beautiful Yellow Vette.

Yup! You'll be peaking into the garage at least once a day for about 6 months. Every other day for 6 months. From then on every week whether you can drive it or not. I'll walk through 2 feet of snow in the dead of winter just to check the battery tender...

Congrats!
