Sometime in 1995, I decided to reward myself with a sports car. While looking hard at some C4s that were on the lot, I was informed that the C5 would be coming off the Bowling Green assembly line and I should wait and get one when they become available.
I took that advise and put a down payment on a C5 at a dealership in Southern California. My Arctic White1997 C5, six speed was delivered to me late 1997. It was one of the first C5s to be delivered to California and was a traffic stopper.
2010 C6 Crystal Red 3LT
Bought the car in 2021 and joined the club soon after. Have enjoyed it especially at the club events. I don’t drive it enough but enjoy it when we do.
Hope to make some more club outings this year. We have always had older muscle cars but wanted something more modern after we moved from Michigan (fuel
injection, disc brakes, air conditioning). Always liked Corvettes but never owned one till now. Should not have waited so long.
