NEW APPRECIATION FOR MY C5
After owning Corvettes of many generations I just bought my 2001 Black 6 speed one owner convertible with only 18k. miles last april and fell in love with it at first site. Watching the new generation corvette being displayed for the first time actually made me appreciate my virtually new C5 even more because , of the two I would buy the C5 if I had the choice of one or the other being new today. I don't think we will ever see styling again like they put into the C5. This is what makes classics out of cars like the C1 2 and 3 and I think the C5 is destined for the same thing.

Welcome.
C5? Maybe 30-40 years from now. If you're young, hold onto it, then when you're in your 60-70's, you may get a chunk of change for it.

I'm 64 and didn't buy it for the investment. I intend to use and enjoy the car as I did all of my previous vettes but I do see these cars becoming collector classics in the future. Of course thats just my opinion.

Yours is a chick? That explains why you drive like miss Daisy.
