Sorry about your loss! Life is too short. What does your son race? Bikes or cars?

Let's just say I got a lot if lip from kids in my school. Made me want to sell it for all the hate I was getting. Thought somebody was going to vandalize it. Oh well the feels of being 17 and having a corvette are the best haha

My C5 is so much fun; I should have bought a Corvette years earlier. Don't wait until you have grand kids.

43 (6 weeks ago!). I almost bought one when I was a senior in HS, but it sold before I got to it (a C3). Blows my mind that a person could have a C5 at 16. I mean... to me, the C5 is basically NEW!

(Tough to be old!)

But then, my insurance is CHEAP!!!!
