C5 and a C3
Well I was able to talk my uncle to getting his Corvette out of the garage. It is a 1982 and he has owned it for 16 years. In those 16 years he has put 400 miles on it.
I told him, either he drives it, or I'm going to take it to car shows. We reached a compromise and my dad took his C5 and I drove the C3. Wow, the Corvette has came along way. I do not think that can be debated, but I do love those curves on that C3. Two brothers Corvettes and one really fortunate son/nephew to be able to drive them both. The C5 has a tick over 12,000 miles on it and the C3 rolled over 54,000. The C3 is basically untouched, all original except the tires, leather is immaculate for the age. Just thought I would share, and here are a couple pictures of the C5 after a fresh clay bar and wax: David |

Looking good! If I get another Vette it will be a C3 no question about it. (With an 871 sticking out of the hood so I can barely see to drive.)

I love 'em, I can get past the bumps and sqeaks easily. I was actually surprised, it has more pick up and than I thought it would.
