Default Sold my C5

Morning everyone, just wanted to let you know that on Thursday, I sold my C5. It was a tough decision, but the time was right. I will still be hanging around on the forum and will certainly stop to visit C5 Gen. I made a lot of cool friendships in C5 Gen and I want to keep them going. I know the next question will be...am I upgrading to C6...and yes, I am. Like I said, tough decision but it was good timing. See you all around...and don't forget to wave!

Justin
