Bought my wife her own Corvette...

It's a 2003 50th Anniversary Convertible with only 24, 000 miles on the odometer. And it's her daily driver - not a garage queen.

Best of all I get to drive my own Corvette - a 1966...

Most of the local gas comes from a tank farm run...

by Chevron and the Union Pacific Railroad. It also supplies aviation jet fuel by pipeline to the Navy's Fallon Naval Air Station where Top Gun Pilots are trained. :thumbs:

Bottom line is you are better off selling your car as...

a private party. Also, you might try advertising your car with your local Corvette Club. Club members are always looking for well maintained, low mileage cars. :thumbs:

I've always used 91 (or better) octane gas for the

You might want to consider looking at cars outside..

your area. I know when I was looking for my first Corvette back in 1998 I was willing to drive as much as 200 miles to see a decent Corvette. Also, since it's summer; some Seattle sellers might think...

Thanks for bringing this topic up. I bought my wife a 2003..

50th Anniversary convertible a month ago, and she wants a chrome lettering set put on the rear bumper. It looks like I will buy a stainless lettering set for her car based upon the above comments....

I installed the trunk spring two weeks ago in my wife's

59th Anniversary convertible and it works just great. Easy fix for a common problem. And best of all, I won't have to hear how "hard it is to open the trunk on my Corvette"!:D

Your best bet is to replace the foam and seat covers..

with new covers of your choice. While it is possible to do the job yourself, it is a PITA job; and for a few hundred dollars more a professional shop will likely offer better results.
Also, in a...

Washington State is one of the few places they enforce

the front license plate display. Fortunately, we mostly drive my wife's 50th Anniversary Convertible in Nevada and Arizona where you really only need one license plate on the vehicle. :D

Well the leak isn't going to fix itself; so you're options

are to go to a local tire shop and get the hole repaired or get a tire plug kit and try to fix it yourself. And obviously, driving at freeway speeds is out of the question until you get it fixed....

Thanks to everyone for replying. I now have several

exhaust systems I will be checking out in the near future. As we also belong to a fairly large Corvette Club in our area; I will be talking to other C5 owners in my club as well....

Second vote for carpet set from Corvette America.

You know you DO HAVE THE OPTION of simply calling

several auto insurance companies and getting a quote. No tracking, no nonsense; and assuming you have a decent driving record they will probably try to win your business.
