Default Finally got one!

Well, I finally added a 2001 C-5 to my toy list. I always wanted one, I just retired a year ago, and I justed could not pass up this beauty. A 2001 Torch Red Coupe. I already put a Blackwing intake, and Corsa Tiger Sharks. More to come. Now I have to decide what I want to drive the harley or the Vette. I would post some pictures but I don't know how. Any help would be appreciated.

Congratulations and welcome. I was going to wait until my retirement to get another vette (had a 1964 in 1968), but my son said get it so you can drive it, that was 3 years ago. They make the BEST daily drivers.

Now let's see some pictures !
