Another C5 in the stable
Back in 1992 I bought a brand spankin new Bonneville SSE. It has served well as a my daily driver and at 4 miles to work only has 72K miles on the ticker. But ya know, after 13 years, its just time for a change.
This morning I picked up a 2002 Coupe to add to the stable as my daily driver. The latest addition is a silver coupe, black interior, glass top, 1SC options (HUD, sports seats, etc.) with 24K miles.
Since it is for daily use, I'll probably keep it pretty stock. Yeah right
, would you believe lightly modded, mostly cosmetic and eventually a new exhaust. But first I gotta do something about that 4 x 4 look.
One can never have enough Vette's
. Oh life is good.

Thats great, congrats! I've been thinking I'd like to trade my truck for
another vette. Only problem, you can't tow a 5th wheel with a vette.
