#Corvette #C5 #C5Corvette - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
A short (and a little emotional) story about getting my C5:
I really wanted a C5 because my dad always wanted one. He was a diehard Corvette Enthusiast who never got to buy one because he took care of me and my younger sibling. He ended up passing away when I was just 10 years old in a freak accident and never got to own a C5. His 70’ C3 (he bought as a teenager) was sold to a collector who has refused to sell it back. All I got was his C4/C5 corvette shirts, and posters. I waited and saved for years in hopes to buying a vehicle as impractical and as beautiful as a C5. Well, now im in my early 20s and I finally bought a very nice low mile C5 in a spec similar to the posters I have all over my wall. Its surreal. The night I made up my mind to pull the trigger on a C5, I broke down and cried. Every time I drive it I think about him in the back of my mind and know that if he was here, he would be just as much of a fanboy about it as I am.
That's awesome man we'll I love mine to just for different reasons
It's not an old man car. Older guys just can afford it easier than a 21 year old. You don't buy a good sportscar with your earnings from working at Dunkin donuts.😢
I bought my c5 working at Dunkin LMAO and I’m 16
Get a job in the trades.
@@quo1k most people age 16-21 depend on their parents to buy them their first car because they only can work part time hours earning peanuts until they graduate and get their first job. Most people even at 21 don't have 15k to 25k in the bank to spend on a Vette. All I could afford to buy at 17 was a 400cc street bike and had to borrow some money to get that.
@@quo1k I doubt that. And no way you could afford insurance.
@@chrisperry9002 it’s not my only job which is how I’m able to afford it. I also ref hockey games on the weekends and I’ve gotten to a pretty high level where pay is very good
I will own a c5 hopefully end of this year or next year. I know God has heard my prayers 🙏🏼
Once you drive a Corvette, it changes your life! I love my C5, Would not trade it for anything in the world or any woman. NOTHING has made me more happy in life than that car
True that. The Lord is number 1 in my life of course, my fam and friends are 2, but my c5 Z is a close irreplaceable 3rd
I bought a c5 because of your videos, ended up with the same color and everything. I’m 19 so it was a pretty big deal for me. My mom passed away in July and this year has just been rough for me but your videos help me focus on the good. Keep it up!
Dude I am so sorry to hear that, I can’t even imagine how hard it’s been 😞send me an email with your address, I’d like to send you some stuff 603drivenh@gmail.com
My condolences to your mother! Also congratulations on getting the car! It’s never “just a car” and I sure this one means just that much more to you!
My condolences and sorry to hear that! Hope you’re keeping your head up; need a bro to talk to, I’m here
I'm sorry for your loss condolences from Austin
God bless you brother. Good for on your c5. Live your life. It is too short.
I saw my first C5 in person when I was 18....needless to say, I fell in love. Never thought I would own one. Back in 2021, and thanks to a convertible Mustang, Covid and my Dad's encouragement, I bought one and I've never looked back. Last year was a 6000 mile road trip through the Black Hills, Pikes Peak, Las Vegas and Yellowstone... this year she's taking us to the Canadian Rockies...
The C5 was an instant classic when it debuted a quarter century ago. It possessed a perfect blend of Corvette's unique styling heritage with some of the most cutting edge performance available - all in an automobile that embodied timeless, understated elegance, finesse, and class. Today, 25 years later, with its incredibly low hood line and swept back windshield, the C5 is still one of the most aerodynamic Corvettes ever made. And unlike Corvettes that came before it and after it, the C5 actually had plenty of interior space to accommodate taller/larger occupants. But most importantly, it was the last Corvette with popup headlights - in other words, it was the last REAL Corvette. Many thanks for your always entertaining and often informative channel. I look forward to every new episode/adventure!
But the c1 didn't have pop up headlights...is the first Corvette a real Vette? Lol.
They're such fun cars. Plus, all their problems have been solved long ago, thanks to Corvetteforum.
I understand I can't get a new ecm if mine goes bad. That's scary.
C5 is still killer!
My first car at age sixteen was a 1959 Corvette. Many decades, and cars later, I found a thirty thousand mile magnetic red '01 C5. An absolute blast to drive and love the clean lines. Watched your channel since the early days, you have a great sense of humor. Peace.
I have 02 same color should have done this 10 years ago
It never ceases to amaze me how chill Corvette owners are
Bought 2 C5 Corvettes in my 20's. I'm 32 now and looking for another one. I have a very strong sentimental attachment to the C5 and it's my favorite generation. It's such an under-rated car no matter how many people have them. True performance driving bliss. One of the last analog performance cars that still incorporates many innovative technologies. The C5 is the Corvette that laid the foundation for the future by improving upon everything learned in the past.
Perfectly worded. It’s the last true analog vette but the 01+ active handling/traction control makes it safe to full send it on the twisties. Buying my z06 at 19 in ‘21 was the dumbest and coolest thing I’ll probably have ever done in my life haha.
@@peterb4143Z06 at 19? Wow, that's quite the car for someone your age. Be careful in it, don't try anything too crazy!
@@Viper3048oh don’t worry I already “totaled” it 2 1/2 months into ownership unfortunately. Hit a tall curb really bad attempting to drift sort of against my will. Learned my lesson I’ll tell ya that. But since then I’ve maintained it up completely myself in the driveway (engine rebuild and all) I’ve got to know the car quite well almost 20k miles later. So now I do dumbass stuff but without the crashing part haha. Boy is it such a joy to drive. Last analog vette with enough of an advanced traction system to keep me from flying off the cliff on canyon runs. True honor to own such a machine. Have American racing headers on the way, hoping to near 500hp with the small cam I put in it already 🤙🏼
A cam with some 243 heads completely transforms the car. Cant recommend it enough, easy 400+ whp n/a and the most amazing sound improvement
I love that cars can positively impact people like this.
I love your car.. as a Brit Corvettes are super rare. I’ve watched your channel since the start.. it’s a fantastic looking car. Thanks for the videos, don’t forget your funny, interesting and know your stuff… that’s why your channel is popular, keep it up!!! Cheers from the UK.
My C5 Corvette changed my life too
I love my 99 coupe! Owned it for 24 yrs. now. Hope I never have to sell it.
I have a 1999 also!!! Love it !!! Had it for 4 years now. 69,000 mi. When I bought it, now about 77,000
Fellow c5 owner
Here for the journey
Great job, I’m 67 and love Vettes and your channel😊
I watched your first C5 video back when I was "thinking about" changing my C4 for a C5. Well, I've had my 2001 C5 for almost 3 years now, and I'm sure you were in the back of my mind when the 'right' car popped up for sale. I don't make videos of my car - my 'spare time' disappears writing thrillers - but I have very much enjoyed a great many of your videos. Thank you.
this man plus my late grandfather will single handedly be the reason u buy a C5 vette'
I bought one a couple months ago and I’m 18, love this car
How much is your insurance im 18 as well and am about to get my neighbors I’m just worried about insurance prices
@@TampaBayYak well my corvette is technically under my dads name so it was much cheaper, but I know if it was under my name it wouldn’t be exactly cheap…
I've owned 2 Corvettes, a C6 and now a C7. My husband finally got the fever and bought a 2004 C5. He's a big guy and it fits him perfectly. He loves it and drives it more than his Nissan Maxima Platinum. He's going to be retiring from his 3rd job in a few years and we'll be moving to a warmer climate where we can drive our cars all year 'round.
You owe everything to yourself. No one else. You did the work. You put the time in. You knew what you needed to do and stuck to it. Great job! 💯🤙🏼
I feel the same way about my C7 Stingray dream car!!!! Literally changed my life when I got it 5 years ago!!!!!
I bought a 99 C5 same Pewter colour in May still stock & came across your channel for mods! From Toronto Canada so shes sleeping for the winter as well. Your cars an inspo man keep up the vids! Cant wait to start modding in the summer
I got my c5 Z06 from my grandma its got a lil bit high miles cuz she drove it everywhere it means the world to me i have so many memories in that car i think about her everytime i drive it miss u grandma ty for everything
Don’t worry kid you are doing a great job ! Love the videos takes me back 20years great platform.. I live in jersey and I’m looking for one my self to get back to the fountain of youth lol😂
Old man here in Massachusetts bought a 2001 6speed last spring because I can afford a toy thats not a daily driver now. Took it for a rip today
C5 >
Wanted one ever since a kid , driving one now will forever be the most satisfying feeling .
You're a good narrator with a side of humor. Love your C5! Also Love my 04' Magnetic red C5🏁⚜️🇺🇸
I'm about to buy my c4 corvette dec 7th it's so close thank you for being such an inspiration ❤
I've been looking to buy a C5 myself, and this was just inspirational. I've chosen the C5 for the same reason as you. Nice C6s are a bit out of my price range, and C4s are too old for me.
Having been the owner of two I understand the draw to corvettes keep up the good work my friend
It's been fun watching you grow up, even before your TH-cam adventure. :)
Love you brother!
Love you too brotha!
Love this! I remember watching when you got it. LFG!!!
Thank you for your videos!! ❤
That first video you made about the C5 was a few hours old when I found your channel. I was also looking at a C5 at the time and wanted to do some research on TH-cam. I watched it and been a subscriber ever since then! Always making quality content and humor about things is always on point never seems forced! Cheers to another 4 years with the vette!
Well you have spread all the way up to the north of Sweden 🇸🇪 also!
Great content 👍🏽from one old fart you inspired to by a C5 and make content as a kick in a boring carpenter work 😉
My C5 sits just in front of me every day here at my work 😁
I bought my 03 c5 two months ago and enjoy it more and more everyday
Been following you since the start. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉🎈
Seeing your videos is part of the reason I bought a C5 as well. They are wonderful cars and a lot of fun. Enjoy the winter ❄️ drives. 😅😮😊
Glad to have been along for the ride. Honestly, you heavily influenced my purchasing of my c5. Thank you.
Love your channel!
Hope you keep the videos coming - I've enjoyed them the past few years and stumbled into your channel around the time I bought my C5 in 2021. I hope you continue your videos and will honk if I see your C5 next time I travel through New England!
I enjoy your channel with your projects and humor. You’re a much better editor than you give yourself credit for. I bought an ‘04 a few years ago, and your content became a favorite. Wishing you and your family a happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Awesome to see the channel growth, you deserve it. One day we shall have a Corvette meet. Respect
Congratulations on the growing success of your channel.
I have been enjoying your videos for the last few years. I have a 98 C5 as well. Keep up the good work!
I gotta say that I love your channel and videos. Your approach and self-deprecating humor are always entertaining and informative. Thank you for sticking with it and helping me with my C5!
Thanks for your vids. They inspired and helped me a great deal making upgrades to my Dad’s C5.
Jake nice job my man happy thanksgiving sir hope you have a great day with the family brother.
Through the process of purchasing my c5 i was watching all of your videos to hype me up. Love the videos man keep up the good work !
I bought my c5 off a friend at a good price ive always had mustangs and wasnt a chevy fan but now I've owned it for a little over a year and love it!! Thanks for the videos
I subscribed to your channel last year when I had my C5, but just recently sold it for a 2008 C6, so I've been watching mainly C6 content lately. But going back, I really still enjoy your channel and like the looks of your C5.
I resonate with this video a lot bro. Always been a fan of the channel and your c5. It’s what made me get one funny enough. I was 21 at the time and mine is also pewter. Will be 3 years in May! Wouldn’t have started my channel if it wasn’t for you. Keep it up!
I’m driving my 2nd C5 now, I’ve had a C4 and a C7 as well. Something about the C5 that is special. Thank you for sharing your videos, I’ve been able to make several Mods to my current C5 after watching your videos. Keep up with the good work.
Great channel, always look forward to your videos. Only waited 40 years longer than you did to buy my first Corvette. Wish I had done it sooner. Good luck, moving forward, and hope you get to 5Ok soon.
Great content.You easy to listen too. Thank you.
hey man this channel has inspired me so much and i loved to hear your story
Always enjoy your content.... Vettes are just cool cars! I've got a C6 and love it!
My wife and I got a 00 c5 with 78 k and we spent 10 k on it and it’s the best car I ever had
Great video. Like yourself. My C5 checked all the boxes. My 2004 Base Coupe….LS1, Targa Top (coupe or convertible),last year for any American made car with pop up headlights, fantastic handling, great sound, and room for groceries in the back. The list could go on but I will stop here. To say I love my C5….. would be an understatement. Keep the videos rolling my friend. Great job. 👍👍
I picked up my spiral grey C5 in 2021 and shortly after discovered your channel since I was searching for so many C5 vids. I pined for a C5 for years and never though I'd find one or that I would be able to sell my 350z for enough to go towards one. No regrets. It's such a great car and plan to keep mine forever.
Keep up the cool content, you do an amazing job :)
Hey youtube algorithm brought me here. Great story! Congrats! Subbed! Happy New Year! 🏁🏁🏁
Amen to this man right here, im 15 and im looking at a c5 becuase you, thank you for everything
Hi, love the channel. You were one of first vids I watched and subscribed to after getting my 02 convertible last year. I was amazed at the C5. Did the lights upgrade, infotainment and a number of other small tweaks. Car is speced nicely and had Borla catback exhaust. I’m toying with degree of upgrade - full on blown with long tubes vs cam, headers, maybe rear gears. Either way a big investment and I have very limited space and no equipment to get the car in the air. Anyway, keep up the great vids - both neophytes and long time owners can benefit from them!
got mine in march 2020 just before cov19 was a thing in the US she's been my daily driver ever since all year all every year since i got her, and i think iv been following you since some time later that year
Well you got me watching your channel honestly the vet was the best part for me since I have one but your other stuff is pretty cool as well and I feel as though you're kind of local since I live right next door in Massachusetts so I enjoy seeing videos of areas I am familiar with keep up the good work and the cool videos coming and I'll be here watching 👍p.s. the only thing I would recommend is you interact more with the comments and respond back to people but yeah keep it up this is a cool video as well
Your videos were a huge influence on choosing to get the corvette, both from your age (I am a similar age) and being able to fit at your height (not sure how tall you are, but you seem pretty tall and I am 6'5). Glad to see both your car and your channel grow as much as it has, and I hope that you can continue making tons of great videos and growing more and more in the years to come.
That’s why I ended up with a c5. It checks every box even if you’re a jdm head. You get one of the most legendary engines LS, rx7 ish styling, round tails reminiscent of a gtr. Then on top of all that you get a 50/50 weight distribution, a t56 trans and modern features like dual climate and heads-up displays. The list goes on but they are just to good lol
C4s do NOT look dated!!! They look like a dream come true. C5s are nice too (they look like C4s with rounded edges to me) and they do still have flip up lights. Love your vids - in spite of your disparaging remarks about my favorite Corvette.
I'm a Honda fan guy, for reliability and daily needs. But My C6 Z06 puts a mile wide grin on my face and has been very trustworthy, with head(s) change. Vette's are generally great vehicles. Cheers from Canada :-) You my friend have been bitten, lol.
Got a 84 & 04 luv em both!!!!!!
I have a 2002 with 48,000 miles on it. The more I drive it the more I love it. Style and fast it keeps me young. I live in Maine not too far from you, I would like to meet you and have you try it out. Let me know if you would like
Congratulations! I enjoy your channel/content. I have a 2008 C6 LS3. If you are ever down in the Hartford,CT area hit me up!
Continued good luck with your channel!
Tuve mi primer C5, del 1999, manual, amarillo en el año 2005. Tuve un accidente grave con aquel coche. Quedé en coma. Solo 10 años después me compraba otro, de color gris del 2002, que vendí dos años después para comprarme una replica del primero que tuve, amarillo, manual pero del año 00. Tu historia me ha hecho revivir como empezó mi ilusión, con solo 25 años por el Corvette C5. Hace mucho tiempo que veo tus videos y he de decirte que me ha encantado tu historia. Eres una persona humilde y con muy buen gusto para editar tus videos y para cuidar tu C5. Gracias por esta historia y por el canal💪. Un saludo desde España.
Fantastic video, man.
As a fellow granite stater.
Keep up the awesome work, man.
Thank you! You've inspired me to take my current channel in the direction I originally wanted and revisit my idea of creating a build series channel. I'm a ASE Master Technician and future GRIDLIFE StreetMod champion so a series about building the car for Gridlife seems good with elements of your style and Jackie Ding's I believe I can make it work. If only I looked good on camera, I'm sure that goes a long way towards viewership.
I have a 2002 convertible with 45,000 miles I’ve owned it for 3 years and love it more each time I drive it. It’s the best invention since toilet paper. I live in Maine not too far from you. Mine stays inside for the winter along with my 1999 Miata. If I knew where you lived I’d love to come down and meet you.
I did my C6 exhaust tips like a C7 I see your C5 is the same..I think it looks cool I get alot of compliments on it.and it sounds badass
Great video and great car. I had one pretty much identical to yours. It was a 2002 coupe in the pewter color. Sold it in 2011 to buy the typical grand parents car, a Buick La Crosse. A number a years latter got the bug to find and buy another Corvette. Just like you, C6's a little to expensive and C7's were way out of my budget. So I looked for another C5. I ended up buying a 2002 C5 Z06 in mint condition in Torch Red. Still have the car and having a blast with it. Sorry for you guys in the north east area, I live in California and can pretty much drive the car all year around. Keep up the good work on your videos, I really enjoy them. Oh, enjoyed your SEMA video, looked like a lot of fun.
I had a C4 (got totaled at a stop light when a kid wasn’t paying attention and rear ended me). I now have a C5 now and I love it. I think it’s funny that we are the same when we still drive it in the winter. I live in Alaska. Kudos to you and your channel. I paid a bit more than your interpretation for my C5, but it only had 10k miles on it (2001 LS1). Putting a Borla S type quad tip exhaust on it this week.
2001...a fantastic version of the iconic Corvette sports car. I've owned many since the series 2 I bought new in 1963. They are great cars, but I have a special affinity for the 2001 model. Don't sell it Jake, I made the mistake of selling mine. I think it was the best Corvette I ever owned...including the C6 I bought new in 2011.
Love my 04Z
Nice car brother interesting content if I was in new Hampshire I would let you do my Ats-v brother AWSOME job well done keep the content and channel going!
My mother got a 1999 Black C5 in 2004 for her 25th wedding anniversary. I was a senior in high school, and you were just a baby!! She let me drive it a lot. Mom had that vette for 11 years. Now that dad is gone, I really want to find another black c5. Its a nostalgia thing for me. It was a great car. As reliable as anything else we have ever owned.
I bought my 2000 C5 3 years ago & took it cross country with my son. What a blast,that car just chewed up the road & spit it out !
I'm a chick, lol! I've got a 1997 C5 Z06. I get my tires tomorrow. I'm so grateful for your videos, I've learned so much. It's my dad's who passed the car has been in the garage for over 10 years. So it's been a journey getting his car back on the road, I'm nervous & excited. Thank you for your videos!
58 year old here with a 98 C5. Living in Toronto you need a winter car and at least a 2 car garage. You can’t afford that when you’re 30 unless you come from means. Anyway, love my car and one more thing, the top is always down, if it ain’t sunny she sits
Im 22, ive wanted a corvette c5/c6 for years and now I can finally afford one. My only issue is I have a 1 year old son. I do have a 4 door sedan that i use for driving my son and girlfriend around but I used to have a mustang and I just miss driving something a little more exciting. Id still love a vette but i think i might just end up getting a GTO so I can still drive my family around
TJ - best Jeep generation ever!
Had a 2000 Pewter C5 6 speed it was cool back then when i got it was 2005 if i remember kept it for a few years until i got a C6 .
If we were closer you could do my C5 Z06!
Greatest deal today. I love mine even more than my C7, believe it not. So stupid it is considered an old man's car - it is world-class in performance and when you consider price, wow...
It was a hard choice between my C3 and the C5. They both have beautiful lines and maybe some day I will own one. There's no comparison when it comes to performance
Just bought 2001 corvette
I just picked up a clean 47k miles black c5 manual non convertible and I’m so excited, already got a corsa quad exhaust 😮
How much if you don't mind me asking?
