Just became a C5 owner myself last Friday. Now I'm trying to convince my C4 husband (also and 84 owner---completely nice) to be a C5 husband . What did you do with your 84??

Have fun in here and be careful out there..

Nice looking car. You'll find there is a huge difference between it and the '84. Best of luck with the car.

Nice ride and welcome to the C5 site. I as many made the same move, no regrets here. Now you will be able to drive the car and not have the car drive you.
