Default New C5 owner

I pick it up Tuesday. Here are some photos that the previous owner took.

I'll post some of mine later in the week when I pick it up







I can't wait!!!

Some of you may have seen the pics in the for sale section on this site, that's how I found it

Congrats Frosty,
I just pickup a 2001 Torch Red Vette 3 weeks ago. I was only able to drive it 3 times before I broke my foot but we will probably see each other at car shows next summer.

I am nearby in Langhorne, PA.

Playing basketball, rolled the ankle, broke a bone and sprained the ligaments.

Did you pick up the car, how does it look? Any suprises?

The mods already done to it are fine for now. I think the mods I'm going to do are ZO6 shocks, LS6 intake and a tune. Not sure what else.

Normally I don't like side moldings on cars...I don't mind them on the C5. I was going to take them off my Z but I might keep them on the C5.
