Congrats! And we'll need pix.

And as a PSU Alum, I have to say, I do miss State College. I haven't been there since '96, but I really enjoyed my time there.

I could go for some Stickies, and the Mac & Cheese at The Diner was delicious!

Hoss's, The Waffle House, Middleswarth BBQ Chips.... I could go on and on...

More like a downgrade, I still don't see why anyone has to give up their current car to get another.

I like your logic. I wonder if it will work on my wife so that she lets me keep the `87, & the Harley & still lets me get a `Vert Vette

C5's are depreciating faster than a Kia Rio
That's why some of us poor C4 bastages are snapping them up.
