Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79
So, would it be wrong for me, the owner of C3VR, to own a C5 instead of a C3?

Not that I could afford it, but I'm just curious what the general opinion is.

Actually ,after spending most of my time this past week on the garage floor under the white princess, I would seriously consider it.

Yes.









Kidding, of course! I am a bigger fan of, "in addition to," but the C5 sure is a nice car. Some even come with a warranty!

In addition to. A lot of people have more than one Corvette because they just can't part with them. Of course we still only have one, but will probably have another some day.

Vette(s):
SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible
SOLD - "The Beast" - '90 ZR-1 (#682)
SOLD - "Betty" - '28 Ford Model A Tudor
SOLD - "BLKBRRD" - '78 Pontiac Trans Am
"BLUBYU" - '04 Coupe
I came oh-so-close this past spring to trading "The Toy" in on a '90 ZR-1, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Will just have to wait for a few years before ADDING to the 'fleet'.

I went for a ride in a friends C5 today; hard not to want to go out and get one but I don't think I would lose the C3.
