Hi,
I used to be pretty active here in C4 gen until about 1.5 years ago when I went to the dark side and traded my gorgeous 96 polo green C4 for a lowly C5.

I used to come back to visit, but felt like some of you were angry at me for leaving.

I lay awake sometimes and worry about it.

Anyway,
I love you folks. I recently found a very nice book that I have about how to rebuild a LT1/LT4 motor. I would like to give it to the first person who can use it. By that, I mean someone who will use it to rebuild an engine and not sell it or just put it on a shelf.

Please forgive me for my evil ways.

Cheers,
Cozmo (the artist formerly known as "Longhorn_C4")

You can never fault a man for upgrading
I have a bare lt1 block here as I type. I am building it up for a local boy.
That book would come in handy

I can't help but notice how the C4 makes that park in the background look so much nicer than the C5 does.
And I can't fault you for snagging that nice looking C5.

You're only 50% traitor to be an official 100% traitor you should've sold your C4 and bought a Mustang.

Nice to see you still have those good C-4 memories. Hope that C-5 is treating you well. Both are good looking cars.

I fail to see the fact to buy newer is upgrading.

I never said it was fact.
Most of the free world views new or newer as upgrading, but presumably you feel differently.

Good way to turn a positive thread into a negative tough

How generous! The book is going to a good guy too!
I recently ordered a can of spray paint for my wife's 04 Grand Prix and found out the color is called Spiral Gray - just like your C5. We both love that color.

I am rebuilding an LT1 to go in a schoolbus for underpriviledged orphan children in Tanzanagwa, B.S. Any chance you could donate that book to our cause? My brother who is taking time away from rebuilding a Convent that was destroyed by Locusts in Antartica is going to assist me. Thanks man, Karma will definately repay you with wonderful enlightenment.
