We need the waxers How else would we find pristine low mileage cars to modify and drive the wheels off them?

Yet you still need certain OE parts for it to work. I voted for encouragement of aftermarket C5 parts.

Agreed. There's been a few times I've went to look for parts for the C5 and found that they are no longer in production.

Guys. parts will always be available.. they maybe be used.. but still will be available just base on sher numbers that GM produced.. they made a total of 4k of the Ferrari that i own and its over 20 years old.. heck they stopped making them in 95.. and i have yet to not be able to find a single part for this car.... another prime example is my 68 firebird.. again, i dont have any problem finding parts for a 45 year old car.. if you really want to ask GM a question if should be how hard is is really to fix the CL, pull key 10 seconds crap!!! hahaha
