Lovely C5 -- don't spend more time fussing over it than you spend driving it!

My '01 Vert had only 35,000 miles on it when I bought it, at the end of January. Over the past month alone, I added over 7000 miles to that, with a three-week trip out West. I spent the last three days of the trip, and 1600 miles, playing tag with the winter storm that tracked through with me from Denver to western Maryland!



Like yours, though, it cleaned up fine when I got home, and it was "none the worse for wear."

These are GREAT cars, and they're built to be enjoyed. Sounds as though you and your wife know that in your guts.

Wishing you lots of fun with your new plaything!

I've had mine since 2013, and my wife STILL giggles when I get into the throttle a little. I'm glad you're having fun!

Very nice well maintained Torch Red C5.
I had an identical '98 that I sold back in 2006.

Nice looking ride, My wife always wanted a red one so she can play the Prince song "little Red Corvette" while ridding around
