A Special "Thank You" to C5 Forum!
This month marks my 10-year anniversary of Corvette ownership as my 2004 C5 vert celebrates it's 10-year birthday. This month also marks my 6-year anniversary of my membership in The Corvette Forum.
Since this is also my 10,000 post, I thought I would take the opportunity to thank all of the other members of this forum and C5 General specifically, for all your posts, thoughts, advice, comments, etc. over the years.
We all know that threads regarding "rear wings", "BSMs", "best CAIs", etc. always generate a lot of interesting comments, etc., however that's what makes this place so much fun!
Also, I find it very interesting that my C5 vert was pretty much bone stock my first 4 years of ownership until I joined this forum. Coincidence? I think not!

I do, but not by much. 
However, during the same period I've logged over 300K miles in my business drivers.
Thanks. Inspired by the many great looking C5s on this forum!

Congrats on the 10K posting. The color of your ride has always been one of my top 2 or 3 picks for all the OE C5 colors.

Thanks! The spoiler is Caravaggio and now that the C5 run is over I believe he builds each one custom so it may take a few more weeks. I purchased mine as part of a group purchase discount he had on the forum a few years ago. Another reason I love this forum!

Congratulations, Al!
You are certainly one of the top members here and have contributed more than your share to those not in the know and those in need.
Here's to another 10 wonderful years of enjoying your C5 and this forum.

My goal for the next 10 years is to split time with the C5 General and C7 Z06 sections of the forum.

Congrats on not only 10 years of C5 ownership but also on 6 years here on the forum. And for hitting 10K posts. Love the look of your car - it's a beauty.
