UPDATE: What would you do?
Well, after months of contemplating and searching, I've found an '04 coupe to replace my '91. It's Torch Red with black interior, in mint condition inside/out with new tires, and it only has less than 23,800 miles on the clock. The car is all stock except for the Borla exhaust. It was formerly an AZ/CA car. I definitely could not pass on this great find. 
These pics were taken at the showroom.

Vey nice looking C5 you purchased there. Nice to see you went with the '04, to many gremlins with the pre '01 models.

Great looking car. I personally could not move on from my 1990 primarily because of the sentimental connection - It was my dad's car and I remember going to the dealer with him and picking it up off the truck from Bowling Green, KY.
Good luck to you though and congratulations. Did you get a good deal if you don't mind me asking?

Such a great story. I don't think I could ever trade off a car with memories like that either.

Almost like me.
It looks like you got yourself a beautiful car. You will definitely enjoy driving it.
I sold my 91 Steel Blue Metallic to buy an Electron Blue 2002 Z06. It is an awesome car.
However, it was not a C4. Now I have the Z06 and a 1992.
Start looking for another C4. You will want one.

That's a super clean car and beautiful. Looks like a nice manual transmission too- my favorite.
A man has to do what he has to do. So many cool cars to drive in such a short life. Enjoy it and post your driving impressions after you wring it out a bit.
