Default Lost My C5!!

Well, not really.. We sold our C4 which was my wife's daily driver last week. Since I never had the time to get the CE C5 out of the drive and I've had it for 3 years and only put 1,600 miles on the car, it is now hers. I figure if she has put up with me for over 20 years she should have a nice new Corvette to drive to work. I still get to use it when she needs to go shopping and takes my tahoe She thought she would really miss her C4 until a day in the C5 and now she loves it. We are still going to do a few shows a year with it but it now being used for what it was built for to DRIVE.

Nothing wrong with driving the car - and at least you still get to use it every now and then.

If She is not driving it on your days off I would think this would be an awesome situation.

Drive the car for example on Saturday. Restore Permagrin. Notice any junk she left behind.

Clean the car for her on Sunday.

She gets in on Monday and thinks about you all day!!
