Congrats. Nothing like a new C5. Time to take it to Gatlinburg near the Smoky mountains and take some pics with the fall colors. It ought to be just about now or maybe a little late. Awesome photo opportunities.

I recently bought an '02 coupe with 30K miles for $20,750 and thought I got a great deal!

My wife bought me a 04 Coupe last week also, $20k, 48k miles, silver color.
I guess she felt sorry for me having to drive my 95 Coupe around.
I love it.
