Default Hello! New C5 Owner!

I've been looking for awhile and I finally found the one. It's a 30,000 mile 99 Sebring Silver A4 coupe with a Firethorn red/black interior. Well taken care of! All service records, oil change every 3,000 miles. It sure looks good next to my 68 vert. This thing is awsome! Bryan

Beautiful pair, the 68 looks awesome too! You'll enjoy the C5, but not a money maker like your 68 is........yet

Congrats on your new ride, what a pair !!! I'll be down your way around the 22nd @ Perdio Key maybe I'll see you on the road, bringing the wife and kids down on vacation sadly though I'll have to drive the family van. Wife and I came down in the VETTE 3 weeks ago in our VETTE and had some much needed down time by ourselves ,we had a blast.

I do love the 68 but I have to pick and choose when to drive it. It's been hot here in P-cola.

Awesome. Just awesome. I love that classic Vette, and you don't see a lot of them in that color. Now if only you had joined the silver convertible club, you woulda really been riding in style...
