[QUOTE=kstyer]

It's Okay Micki, You are a C3 owner who just happens to also own a C5. Which is a very good thing. You are not just a C5 owner. The difference is clear.

[/QUOTE]

That "NASTY" C-5!!

"Just happens" is a very good description!

Lets change it at GM as Ferrari with some models : You MUST own some older ones before you can buy a new ! ( special editions , ok. )

So Micki , you are allowed to drive your C5 when the weather is not 100 % so people don't mention so much passing cars ....

Sorry , C5 what's that ? are there others than C3 ?

Ok I have to put in my 2 cents we had 20cm snow up here and I'm . Anyway I find that every time a Corvette passes me ( going the other way of course ) they always give the Corvette wave, C5 as well.

Now when it comes to shows the C5 guys usualy have their heads stuck inside a C3 when your not looking. All kidding aside there has always been a mis-conception that Corvette owners think their stuff don't stink.I have found Old or New Corvette owners are pritty cool Guys and Gals.There are some you will never change no matter what you do. I would be realy concerned if I was hearing that the Mopar boys loved our cars.

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

There are several distinct groups. Some are new car status folks. Some are Corvette lovers, no matter what year.

And then there are the other brand guys who also like our C3s. They don't like to admit it, but they like them.

Of course the Mopar guys try to ...ahem..."Dodge" the issue

Vette(s): 1977 Silver Coupe; built on March 15, 1977. Every option except towing package and roof rack! Just turned 61,000 original miles!

Happens to me all the time as well! My wife's girlfriends have C5 &6's and my wife thinks she is "Wilma Flintstone" riding in my '77! My car is original and in damn good shape. It was built on March 15, 1977 a few cars ahead of the 500,000th Corvette and somehow she just doesn't care about such trivia! What's a guy to do?

Save the Wave,

Vette(s): '68 (2), '75 (4), '86, '90, '99, '00, '02. '98 (2), '06 (3), '10, '12 GS, '82 Collector Edition, '03, '90 C4 ZR-1, '14, '15

46 Years ago at the time when the long, lean and muscular Third Generation Corvette's looks were backed up by the bigest and most powerful engines that GM had ever produced, Corvette made a first year radical body styling change with the 1968 C3 Generation Corvette.

30 Years later in 1998, they would win the Motor Trend Car Of The Year, with the first Corvette to have a trunk since the 1962 Corvette with the second year C5 Corvette......I have both!

After selling my 2012 Grand Sport Roadster, I now have both...............a '68 C3 Rally Red stock Roadster and a '98 C5 Torch Red stock Roadster.

When I went home for lunch today, I couldn't help myself and had to drive the '68 back to work. It was 58 and clear here in Colorado Springs, CO. I love the simplicity of the '68 and as simple as it is, it's L-79 327ci 350 HT engine has 350 hp while my '98 is rated at 345 hp.

MPG is a different story with the '98 getting better than 30mpg on the road and the '68, well I just put gas in it and enjoy.

God Bless, rick

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.

So True. My C3 has been down for the better part of 3 months and in SoCal every day is a Corvette day.

I starting to forget how wonderful it is to just get out a cruise.

The first post on this thread is so true. I see a C3 out on the road every couple of days as there are a lot of them in the San Diego area.

I really do not know how you guys last the winter. Not meaning to pull your legs just it is so much fun to just get out and drive.

Vette(s): 1976 Silver/Firethorn. L48, 4spd. Original 2 bolt, vortec heads, 9.4:1 CR, Speed Pro Cam: 224/224@0.050, 112 LSA, Eagle Steel Crank.

No offense to those that own C5s and C6s but I've stopped waving first. I'll wave back if they wave first but they seldom do. I'm more apt to wave at an old Chevelle or Camaro than a new Corvette - and they're more likely to wave back.

Sharks rule!

JUST TO CONFIRM WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT---ONE FRIDAY AFTERNOON DRIVING HOME ON I-95 MINDING MY OWN BUISNESS, DOING ABOUT 78 MPH IN A 55 ZONE, I FELT SOMEONE PACING ME. I LOOKED TO MY LEFT AND THERE WAS A RI STATE TROOPER. HE ROLLED DOWN HIS WINDOW--GAVE ME A THUMBS UP AND KEPT ON GOING. SATURDAY AM I WAS BUYING A COFFEE AT A LOCAL DRIVE THRU WHEN THE LANDSCAPING CREW--ALL WOMEN IN THEIR 30'S--COMPLIMENTED MY VETTE. SUNDAY AM, LEAVING A RESTAURANT, I STOPPED TO LET A VERY WELL DRESSED WOMAN IN HER 89'S WALK IN FRONT OF MY CAR AN SHE LOOKED AT MY WIFE AND I AND SAID "WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR". AND OF COARSE ALL THE LITTLE KIDS IN THE NEIBORHOOD LOVE IT. ANYWAY-- ALL AGES LOVE THE C3 VETTES. CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS SUMMER.

These are the reasons I still have my LT-1, but you don't have to YELL. Wink
