Default C5 is gone...

Today I traded my C5 (and a pile of money) for a new C6 convertible. It was a bittersweet occasion for sure. I love the performance and ride of my new car, but I am going to miss the C5. My wife got all teared up when we were driving away from my black coupe.

Anyway, I have enjoyed my time in the C5 forum and I appreciate all of the good tips I received (for free) over here. You guys are the greatest!

Again, thanks to all of my C5 friends. I'm sure I will see some of you at the C6 forum eventually.

In the meantime, keep up the Zainos VS _________ debates ,and keep those performance hood seal threads going.
