Great day. It's funny, people still think my car is new, just cause it looks nice. Even more funny is that people think I am financing a $40k+ car. C5s have a timely shape hold their own very well even after being produced not too long ago.

Yeah, i get that warm fuzzy feeling when i catch people staring at my car at stop lights. My favorite is when one guy will tap his buddy and they both look at my car and mumble something.

I get more response from children. Kids seem to love these cars the most. Whenever I go through parking lots or crowded areas, I almost always hear the little ones say something like "mommy look at the cool car" or "hey cool look!" Reminds me of myself when I was much younger. Keeping the dream alive
