My C5 was Arctic white with a red interior. Wish I had kept it now and had my 86. You have 2 sharp cars. Keep em both if you can!

As much as I love my 89...that white over red C6 is beutiful and well I suppose I'd have fond memories of my 89 if that's what it took. Probably will happen here eventually. My wife has a bad knee and recently discovered how much easier C5/C6 cars are to get in and out of. Lucky for me(??) I have other obligations to take care of in the mean time so those C6's can depriciate just a bit more!

Beautiful C6!

I always felt the C6 was more a progression from the C4 rather than the C5 as far as looks go.

Drove home 600+ miles and what a joy it was. Averaged 25.5 mpg I must admit that I did step on it a bit ok a whole lot of bit. Yesterday I picked up a bottle of Griots waterless wash which works great. It got rid of all the road dirt and bugs but still froze my fingers off. it's all put away now until the snow melts.
Unfortunately only room for one in the garage. Guess who's sitting outside under car cover freezing his *** off?
