Default I got mine!!!

Well I thank you guys for the encouragement and great advice I got my C5 and a bad case of permagrin. Love cruising in the right lane cause whoever passes did so by my permission

It is blk/blk 01, A4, vortex induction, headers, Corsas, tinted windows, black screens in front, silver on sides and rear. It has 12 cd changer custom shaved front and that really cool hood I loved on some else's yellow vette.

In short it is modded with all the things I dreamed of putting on a Vette. It is like some one looked over my shoulder as I drooled over cars in the forum and had it custom modded for me. That some one has a sense of humor though, putting in an A4 so my wife has the option of driving sometimes.

I have pics but don't know how to post. my search for how to post pictures info came up blank.
