My new baby!!!
I signed the paperwork yesterday to buy the shark shown below! :party:
I have driven a C5 convertible for the last five years but made the decision to replace it with the '69.
I have already learned a ton lurking on this forum, so thanks everyone!!! I'm sure that once I get the car home (Wednesday) I'll need to start actively participating. :)

Re: My new baby!!! (RMVette)
Very nice !! I see a big trend lately with people stepping back to the C3
from a C5 - or at least adding on to their collection.

There really is a picture, I swear!!! The site I have hosting the pic was down last night so no picture was showing. They seem to have fixed the problem, but it looks like I may need to find a different hosting site to avoid these problems.
I had another sleepless night last night thinking about the car. It looks like it may rain Wednesday and I won't be able to pick up the car. My wife actually told me I was obsessed with it :D
