Default Just got my FIRST C3

She gets delivered this week. Went to "visit" her two weeks ago with a friend. We looked her over up, down, in and out. Thanks for the honest seller who took tons of pics and didn't hide anything. She was just as advertised. I can't wait to start getting my hands dirty!

This pic was made by a friend of mine. She's just as excited as I am.
