Congrats Oliver and Welcome to the "dark" side :lol: :lol:

Guess I'll be seeing you on that "other" Forum now too :lolg:

Give us a yell when the "service column lock" message comes up, the dual zone goes bonkers, the Bloze starts blowin' out, the rear tranny seal goes to leakin', the headlight motor craps, the battery leaks all over the computer, the A/C drain clogs and shorts out the PCM, the tires sensors quit sensing, the stock muffler welds go to crackin', etc etc....just itty bitty minor aggravations :lolg: :lolg:

Seriously..they're great cars and I love mine to death. :thumbs: :thumbs:

I wish that mine would be 6-speed... However - on the other hand - the auto isn't too bad for bracket racing... I still have the 5-speed in my 68'...

:cheers:

Don't stop waving just because you have a C5. By the way, if you don't mind telling, how much did you pay? Congrats.

Olivier,

I really like your color sheme and chrome wheels. I would probably pick that same car but it would have to be a six speed....

What's the mileage?

Please post some pics!!!

Bob :cool:
Well - the mileage is around 50k.. but shows 21k.. There was a problem with the odometer which caused it to get reset. There was no odometer fraud. The problem was reported to DMV. However - the car looks more like 21k miles than 50k miles - especially the leather of the drivers seat..

:cheers:

Olivier
