My first and second Corvettes
Just wanted to jump over from the C5 section and fondly remember my frist two Corvettes. The frist was a 1978 coupe. Someone had made a Pace Car replica without the decals. Looked correct, except for the interior. I was shopping for a used Vette and saw that one. Love at first sight. I put nearly 100,000 miles on that car before a friend of mine got T-boned in it. He survived - the car did not. I still have the nose emblem.
The second was a silver 1981. Very pretty car and ran good. I think the prievious owner had modified the engine. Sorry I sold it.
Had great times in both cars. I really like the 3rd generation cars. :thumbs:

Re: My first and second Corvettes (C5starman)
All of them are so different. I didn't realize how different, until I bought the C-4. I knew the C-5 was a world apart. But it's cool how each of these cars have their own "flavor."
I agree with the above. Get another. You won't regret it.

Gee guys! I can hardly keep up with the mods on the one I have. Don't place temptation before me. I am weak willed! :D
