Default I'm Back!

After a mistake in selling my 99 FRC last year, I have been looking for a new C5. Well, last weekend, I found a 2001 Silver Coupe w/45k miles in immaculate condition owned by an older gentleman. He wanted $23,500 for it and I was a bit skeptical about why he wanted so little. Then I got to his house to see a beautiful red 2005 C6 and knew why.

Well, 1 week later, his old C5 sits outside my house. I am glad to be back! I look forward to waving at you all soon! Will post pics when the weather gets nicer here in Baltimore.

Glad you found your way back. I'm glad you found "the right ride" and I'm also glad I don't live in Baltimore as I was out C5 cruising today and must have seen five others out there too. Hate to rub it in but 50 degrees and sunshine was very welcomed today.
