Well, I finally got my 1999 Corvette. Or as many know it as the C5. For the 5th generation Corvette. My name is James J. Adkins II and I am a 26 year old Software Engineer in Huntsville, Alabama.
I ordered my car back in May 1998 from Bruce Glueck Chevrolet. However, August 24, 1998, I stopped by my local dealer, Bill Heard Chevrolet, and found my baby. She had everything I had ordered from Bruce Glueck, with one exception. It was already built and I didn't have to wait anymore. I took the car home about 9:30 that night and haven't looked back since.
I am a member of a great Corvette Club - The C5 Registry. If you own a C5 or are even thinking about buying one, this is the place to get great information. I have learned a lot from the C5Net email list.
Ok, now to the more interesting stuff. I have pictures of my car below and even further down, I have a list of all of the stuff on my car. I hope you enjoy.
If you have any questions/comments, you can email me at: James.J.Adkins@gmail.com
