Default C5 - CCW Classics - 'teaser' pics

EDIT: Better pics in post #24

Sorry for the crappy pictures but the car is still put away for winter for another couple months so I can't really move it, plus I don't get to be excited about much in the middle of winter. I just bought the wheels from a CorvetteForum member, and I bought new Toyo TQ 315/35-18s for the rear and a pair of nearly new Michelin 275/35-18s for the front. The wheels are 18x10 and 18x11.5. Sorry the car is dirty. Also, the suspension needs to come down some more; part of it is because it needs to re-settle after I jacked it up to put the wheels on.

I will get some good pics in the spring. FYI, it was -15* F here this morning....:ack:

my thoughts exactly, on both comments! I hated moving to south Texas from Colorado..there are just so many better things about CO than TX..but..once acclimated to the weather here, I realize bikes and nice cars have ALL YEAR to play! Cant beat that!

Beautiful C5

Thanks for the compliments everyone! Just a couple more short months and I'll be driving it again.

No sir. I always push it into place by hand for winter hibernation. It's about an inch from hitting in the rear.

And yes, I also realize that my shelf/garage is a mess. With 2 little kids around it's not a big priority...

The wheels or the two cars in one parking spot? LOL

No to both. I have not driven with the CCWs on yet, so I don't know if the rears will rub...they are close to the inner 'tubs' but I think it will be OK. Previous owner of the wheels had 335s in the rear so I think I will be OK.

The two C5s in the garage are very close together but it's OK. It's less than great watching me crawl across the inside of each car to get to/from the drivers seat.

Thanks. The red one is my best friend's dad's car. I told him I could store it for him this year. It's an 02 6-speed car with cam/headers and a polished Magnacharger 2300 on it. Oh, and CCWs, LOL.

Car looks great. What's that white stuff in the yard? We have green grass in our yards year around here along the Texas gulf coast. I couldn't imagine parking my play toy for months at a time.
