Since the mass exodus, I haven't seen too many posters I don't recognize. It'd be nice to meet some of ya'll Barn Veterans.

It's been way too long since I have seen that beast in person... Hands down the most incredible C5 I have ever seen inside and out. Although looking at your pic, when did the flares go on? I don't remember them the last time I saw it (2009)

Man, I miss Waterside!!!

GB Vette, that is a sick C5. Looks great!! :dance:

Jon, is not that we hate C5s...I know a great bunch of C5 owners. It takes knowledge to understand that a newer Vette is always better not to bash an older Vette because yours is newer and better.

In 2001, I met a C5 owner that he thought the C5 were the first Corvette year. Go figure that one out!!

I don't use it anymore. Was just there to cover up a boo-boo. I'm really not a fan of them.

All fixed (for now).

no, it was pewter and he was an idiot. He was lucjy I was driving my DD, If I would be driving "The Ghost" he would never ever think C4s are slower.

no, it was pewter and he was an idiot. He was lucjy I was driving my DD, If I would be driving "The Ghost" he would never ever think C4s are slower. If you were driving the 'Ghost', he would've thought it was a Ferrari or Mustang, because 2001 is the first year of Vettes

ps. you missed the 'school bus yellow' reference, didn't you.
