Default Bye to the C4 side

Well, I sent out an e mail on our 92 to the club I am a member of Thursday night, by lunch yesterday it was gone. For those of you that don't like clubs, there are times they come in very handy.

Anyway, I have learned a lot from you and really enjoyed reading your posts.

Today we are picking up a 01 Vert with 10k on it. It will be nice to have a trunk again.

Thanks again, I'll be heading over to the dark side on the C5 forum.
Have a great summer!
Vinnie

Yeah but somewhere, someone just upgraded from a C3 to a C4. In the great balance of the universe, it all equals out!
Congrats on the C5. They're very pleasant cars to drive.

Saying it's a "pleasant" car to drive is worrisome to me. It's kinda like someone tellin ya she's a really nice girl. Have a great time with your new aquisition. Don't forget to :

Kinda like "she's got a great personality" you mean? Well that was actually my impression of the C5. Very nice car to drive, but it just doesn't have that exciting feel of my C4. I'm sure that a ZO6 would be more to my liking, although I haven't had the pleasure of trying one of those yet.

Congratulations on your new ride! Having a real trunk is very nice, especially for those long road trips...

In a "perfect universe" GM wouldn't have given the C5 an *** that resembles Rosanne Barr but who said our world was perfect

You're being kind, you could have said Rosie O'Donnell! But then she's a pig on so many levels! At least Rosanne is cool, white trash, just like me!
