Default A Fond Adieu
As of today I traded in my beautiful triple black '02 for a new '05 Silver six speed.

I will continue to stay abreast and stay in touch as I sally forth to the C6
forum as well.

Thanks to all who have given and continue to give valuable advice. It is very much enjoyed and apprecated.

Take care.

Dan
